How else will people accuse us of being "CCP bots" if we don't even have "comments" and dates/times translated to Chinese?

What if we add a translate button like RedNote has and then all start posting in Chinese, as a bit?

I support this as it would help me learn Chinese

It'd mostly be Google translate Chinese tho

The software already appears to have an almost complete Chinese (simplified) translation: https://weblate.join-lemmy.org/projects/lemmy/#languages

It appears that way, but I don't get why the Japanese translation has the comment and datetime strings working properly, but the simplified Chinese translation does not, when the metrics suggest Japanese translation should be less complete...

huh. I'm not quite sure but if I had to guess, there's probably some random node.js package somebody shat out to convert time differentials into strings and it has its own incomplete set of translations

Maybe. I just realized that traditional Chinese has those intervals working correctly, which is even more bizarre.

Lol, I think you pretty much guessed the exact issue. The node.js package is apparently called date-fns.

I've filed a bug on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2936
