如何本地化时间段（iOS / OSX）

Question

Anyone know of a way to localize a time period (eg 2.5 days or 6 months)

It looks like the solution is to use a stringsdict file - but this strikes me as a problem that must have been solved already?

Thanks

This is what NSDateComponentsFormatter does. An example from the docs:

NSDateComponentsFormatter* formatter = [[NSDateComponentsFormatter alloc] init];
formatter.unitsStyle = NSDateComponentsFormatterUnitsStyleFull;
formatter.includesApproximationPhrase = YES;
formatter.includesTimeRemainingPhrase = YES;
formatter.allowedUnits = NSCalendarUnitMinute;
// Use the configured formatter to generate the string.
NSString* outputString = [formatter stringFromTimeInterval:300.0];

gives "About 5 minutes remaining".
