I'm not sure if this is an issue in reddit-i18n or rather reddit itself, but...

In the comment template, you can translate the "ago" string for the "X time ago", but you can't change the order wher the "ago" appears in the phrase.

Why is this important? Because in Spanish "3 hours ago" is "hace 3 horas". The current `es` translation worked around this limitation by translating "ago" for "atrás", which is more or less understandable but nobody says "3 horas atrás".

I guess that this will happen in other languages too.
