In Rust, format Duration into string like "1 hour ago" or "01hou".

Currently it does nottake the calendar into account and assumes each month is about 30.4 days long.

Parsing such string back to aDuration is out of scope for this crate. Maybe see thechrono-english crate instead.

Withisolang feature off, it supports Rust from version 1.24.

There is a helper command line tool that allows easier experimenting when adding a new translation:
