Impossible to translate "ago" for "timestamp_ago" formatter

I noticed this in my projects too. The patch fixes the issue for me.

I rerolled the patch for Drupal 10.3.5.

anandhi karnan → made their first commit to this issue’s fork.

I was able to reproduce this issue in Drupal 11.x.

Here are the steps I followed:

• Language and Content Translation modules are enabled.
• Multiple languages have been configured under Configuration > Regional and Language > Languages.
• Navigation to Configuration > Regional and Language > Content language and translation was done to enable translation for the content type.
• A content item with a date field was created and published.
• The content was translated into the second language.
• Navigated to the page displaying the content.
• Observed that "ago" and "in" in the timestamp format are untranslated.

I have created a merge request (MR) against Drupal 11.x. Please verify.

Thanks

This is the wrong approach.

You need to translate your view/form mode formatter/widget settings with config translation, not translating a dynamic string with interface translation.

See 🐛 Entity view/form mode formatter/widget settings have no translation UI Needs review for the proper solution. Marking this as duplicated.

As a workaround you can mangle with your yml config files and import them.
