Description

After the initial implementation of in-progress lists (T260165) for the mobile experience, there is no reference for how old an in-progress translation is. This is relevant to encourage users to complete their translations and publish them before they become outdated.

This ticket proposes to add the time reference for the items in the in-progress list. The value show will be

"Today" less than a day has passed.
"1 day" or "X days" when one or more days have passed.

More details on the "time" element from the spec image below:

@Pginer-WMF Instead of "3 days", it would make more sense to me if it is "3 days ago".

Also, instead of "135 days", "4 months ago" would make more sense to me.

Conceptually, I think it is valid to do either communicate the time it has been in translation (4 days) or communicate when the translation started (4 days ago). The later makes the message more explicit, and I totally agree that using months for periods over 30 days makes sense.

I was considering initially a very simple approach (a day counter) to get started, since (a) there may be limited space (and the "ago" part may be much longer in other languages), and (b) previous approaches were based on Moment.js which seems to be deprecated.

Having said that, if there is a reusable approach to make the time reference more human with no effort we can start from there and iterate if needed. However, if this requires some more effort, I'd recommend starting simple and iterate later.
