Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2009-03-19 13:20:14 UTC 
In the media library, we get stuff like this as the "duration" of clips: "00m48s". This is not pretty.

I suggest, in the case of the media library (and wherever you may see fit elsewhere where the duration/timecode doesn't vary much), to use formatting like this:

- "8 seconds"
- "2 minutes and 33 seconds"
- "1 hour and 44 minutes"

Of course this will be slightly more work for translators, but it will look much more polished.

Another place where this should be used: the progress bar in the rendering dialog.
