Rails' own distance_of_time_in_words/ time_ago_in_words can't do this on their own -- the scope option changes which translation key is looked up, not the underlying grammar, and German's "vor" requires dative case, which is a different word form than the nominative plural Rails computes by default. relative_time_phrase/relative_distance is a small, from- scratch bucketing helper instead, with an explicit, hand-checked translation table per unit per locale. Also removes de.yml's datetime.distance_in_words and activerecord. errors blocks. Both used the old {{count}}/{{model}} interpolation syntax the current i18n gem no longer recognizes -- it silently leaves the literal placeholder text in the rendered output rather than erroring, which is why this went unnoticed until now. Both were shadowing rails-i18n's own current, correct translations for exactly these keys; deleting the local override lets the gem's version take over instead of maintaining a second, broken copy.
