Hey,

I just forked this and added a German translation. However, it would be better to have the 'ago'-word in front of the sentence (allows for slightly other wording, which sounds a lot more fitting).

E.g. "5 Minuten zuvor" -> "vor 5 Minuten"
It's shorter and sounds better.

I think the simplest way to do so, would be removing the generalized 'ago'
and having it repeated in each sentence. Hell, I could even imagine that
some Asian languages have different words for 'ago' depending on the
timeframe..

And for the plural form where a number is added the string I'd use some
'%d' or whatever placeholder to give freedom to the word order.
