time_in_words

All code stolen from lucky framework time_helpers, but added the Chinese support.

Only EN and ZH_CN supported for now, PR is welcome.

The locale name will follow name in this file.

TimeHelper.from(past_time: Time.local - 13.months) # => "大约一年前"

from_time = Time.local
TimeHelper.distance(from: from_time, to: from_time + 50.minutes) # => "大约一个小时前"
TimeHelper.distance(from: from_time, to: from_time + 35.minutes) # => "35 分钟前"
