Change the language

[bimoware]

I already have a function for this :

function ms(value,long,fr){
  if(!value) return 0;
  try {
    let res = require('ms')(value,{ long });
    if(typeof res === "string" && fr) res = res
      .replace('years','années')
      .replace('weeks','semaines')
      .replace('days','jours')
      .replace('hours','heures')
      .replace('seconds','secondes')
      .replace('milliseconds','millisecondes');
    return res;
  } catch(err){
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }

But still would be cool to be able to change the language returned

ms('2d').locale('fr') // 2 jours
ms('3y').locale('fr') // 3 années

Here, it's 'fr' for french but it could be 'en' for English (which would be by default) or whatever language people could help to support in the pull requests.

As a future reference: ms only has days, hours, minutes and seconds implemented when formatting instead of parsing.

As @italodeandra mentioned, this library is focused specifically for time parsing.
