Wouldn't that work with a translation of your own, that receives the "time
ago" as an argument that you can interpolate, like this:
*translate :time_ago, time: time_ago_in_words(Time.current)*
*# locale*
*en:*
* time_ago: "%{time} ago"*
*pt-BR:*
* time_ago: "%{time} atrás"*
*zomg:*
* time_ago: "prefix %{time} suffix"*
That "just works", without adding any new extension to the method/framework.
Hope that helps.
