add I18n scope option to distance_of_time_in_words

Reported by tassmann (at jovoto) | October 14th, 2010 @ 02:04 PM

add option for distance_of_time_in_words to add an custom I18n scope.

For example in german the wording depends on the context: 3 days = 3 Tage 3 days ago = vor 3 Tagen (with an n)

this patch gives more flexibility for different contexts

    Is it possible to do the same with lambda-translations feature of I18n? In that case, we'll need to pass the datetime object to Proc which does the translation, instead of patching like that.

    Could you look into it?

    I just come across this ticket while searching for a solution for exactly this issue in German translation? As I'm new to i18n, may I ask you: This lambda-translation you suggested. Is this something I can use in my project or this is just a ways you guys try to fix the i18n support of distance_of_time_in_words?

    As "time_ago_in_words" and "distance_of_time_in_words" should yield in different texts in German grammar. I could maybe adjust the translation to meaning "time_ago_in_words" ("vor 3 Tage" --> "vor 3 Tagen") and just use this version? Or I create a local copy of that method in my project that is using different translations for "time_ago_in words"?

    Thanks so much for your great work!
