Is 'in' translateable in relative_reset_time?

I was trying to find out whether “reset_time” in “This community has reached its AI credit limit for today. Please try again after %{reset_time} or contact your site administrator for more information.” was a relative time or a fixed time. I think the preposition I would use in German differs depending on that. So, while I tried to get ChatGPT to help me find an answer for that, I stumbled across:

github.com/discourse/discourse

plugins/discourse-ai/app/models/llm_credit_allocation.rb

9cbb0c3da


      
              llm_model.llm_credit_allocation.deduct_credits!(credit_cost)
            end
          
            def formatted_reset_time
              return "" if next_reset_at.nil?
              next_reset_at.strftime("%l:%M%P on %b %d, %Y").strip
            end
          
            def relative_reset_time
              return "" if next_reset_at.nil?
              "in " + AgeWords.distance_of_time_in_words(Time.current, next_reset_at)
            end
          
            private
          end
          
          # == Schema Information
          #
          # Table name: llm_credit_allocations
          #
          #  id                    :bigint           not null, primary key

To me, it looks like “in” is hardcoded so it cannot be translated.

Nice catch

So these usually both work with an absolute time specification?
