Feature: Add option to interchange the humanized words from right to left/ Swahili Language optimization #207

Closed BossBele closed 2 years ago

BossBele commented 2 years ago

As a native Swahili language speaker, I expect the humanized duration to start with words before the count. Eg: "1 day" in Swahili is "siku 1".

Currently, the format does not adhere to the Swahili language; ie. "1 day" = "1 siku".

To solve this, an option to exchange the position of the word would help. Otherwise, an extended formatting function for Swahili would suffice.

Caveats for implementing an extended formatting function for Swahili means that adding a customized Swahili language humanizer would be impossible:

const humanizer = humanizeDuration.humanizer()

humanizer.languages.shortSW = {
  y: () => 'mw',
  // ...

This has been fixed in aff718e23022163a2d1369a81b84642d29c7a4b4 and deployed in humanize-duration@3.27.3. Thanks for your report!
