What if we are explicit in the comment about the intended meaning of NOW, as in:
# TRANS: Indicating something that just happened; "just now", "right
now", "moments ago"

>  +AGO = _(' ago')

>  +    return result + AGO

Likewise:
# TRANS: Indicating time passed, eg (1 month, 5 days ago); "ago", "in
the past", "earlier"

Good points.  I'm certainly not sure how translations would work, but
this approach seemed the most appropriate for the english audience to
me. Is offering a few synonyms for the intended meaning appropriate in
a TRANS comment?
