This function is implemented in Lua here FrameXML/UIParent.lua.

timePassed = SecondsToTime(seconds[, noSeconds]);

Is defined in UIParent.lua as: function SecondsToTime(seconds, noSeconds, notAbbreviated, maxCount)

Converts a number of seconds into a localized, user readable timespan.

Parameters[edit]

Arguments[edit]

seconds, noSeconds

seconds: Number - The number of seconds to be represented.

noSeconds: Boolean (optional) - If true, seconds are omitted from the output. (Omitting it == false)

Returns[edit]

timePassed: String - Formatted, localized string representing the specified number of seconds.

Example[edit]

local timePassed = SecondsToTime(5461)
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("5461 seconds is approximately " .. timePassed)

Result[edit]

5461 seconds is approximately 1 Hr 31 Mins

Details[edit]

Converts a number of seconds to a user readable timespan. The exact result differs for each client language.

Regardless of the noSeconds parameter, the function never returns more than two different time units of precision. i.e. if seconds is greater than 3600, seconds will be omitted. If it is greater than 86400, minutes will also be omitted.
