Add Support for Chinese Language in Human-Readable Time Parsing Library

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Hello,

First of all, thank you for creating this fantastic time parsing library! It has been incredibly useful.

I would like to request the addition of support for the Chinese language in the Human-Readable time parsing library. This would greatly expand the usability of the library for Chinese-speaking users and applications targeting the Chinese market.

Suggested Features:

Chinese Language Parsing: Enable the library to parse time expressions written in Chinese. For example:
"两小时前" for "2 hours ago"
"昨天" for "yesterday"
"三天后" for "in 3 days"
"下周一" for "next Monday"
Chinese Language Formatting: Allow the library to format time expressions in Chinese.
Potential Challenges:

Handling the different ways time is expressed in Chinese compared to English.
Ensuring compatibility with existing features and languages supported by the library.
Benefits:

Broader user base and accessibility.
Enhanced usability for Chinese developers and users.
Potential for more contributions from the Chinese-speaking developer community.
Thank you for considering this feature request. I am looking forward to the possibility of using this library in my Chinese language projects.

Best regards,
