Translating Relative Time column (english to french)

How to translate Relative Time plugin in french?

I searched but didn’t find clear answer.

Hmm, I wonder shouldn’t Glide write the text at the front end in French?
Since the whole app is written in French, did you try that cause it should work.

Anyway, I built a javascript for you to use.
It works fine for your query but I don’t speak French much I was learning at one point so I stopped… haha.

The code is here: Write relative date to French JavaScript

let p1 be the relative column

Thank you @micheal . Before I try your javascript :

My whole Glide account and apps are in english, does any setting exist to change the language? So I can try this before, but I didn’t find anything in that sense

That I know of? not so sure but I’ve seen users in various non-English countries that use Glide so it’s either Glide translates it for them or they do so themselves.

It seems that you’re right : Localization | Glide Docs
I think I must publish the app to test.

This is another alternative to @micheal’s javascript solution. I don’t think the relative time column will automatically translate on its own.

So nice! It works perfectly and I post here screenshot for french Gliders because in french, “ago (= Il y a)” has to be set at the front :



Thank you a lot y’all guys
