Sure, could easily drop "Two days ago" and the like, these are just the
icing on the cake.

The minimum plan to implement this for 3.12 would need 1 regular
string: "Last checked: %s", and 3 time format strings:

  "%R", "%l:%M %p", "%e %B %Y"

Would it make sense to only mark "Last checked: %s" for translation and
leave the time format strings untranslated? I am not sure how much value
there is for translating the time format stuff anyway.

Does that sound better? Could leave it for 3.14 as well if it sounds
like too much change in the last minute.

Thanks,
