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)

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.
