I'm not sure about the correct alternative, but in some languages, comma-separator is translated as "the punctuation used to separate items in a list" which can be some other thing. See bug 44798.
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1957
How serious is the impact, how many languages are affected in practice? And what is your suggestion, create a new message just for this specific case?
(In reply to Max Semenik from comment #2) > How serious is the impact, An incorrect punctuation is used. > how many languages are affected in practice? At least zh and some other zh-based languages, such as nan, cdo, gan, hak, yue or lzh (well traditionally Classical Chinese doesn't use punctuations, but zh_classicalwiki, as well as newly published books targeting ordinary readers, uses them) are affected. > what is your suggestion, create a new message just for this specific case? Include the punctuation in the message saying "bytes added"? (I assume "days ago" is from human timestamp)
So currently text near mobile-frontend-diffview-bytesadded / mobile-frontend-diffview-bytesremoved is lego work. This message should be written as: "mobile-frontend-diffview-subtitle": "$1 {{PLURAL:$1|byte|bytes}} added, $2", "mobile-frontend-diffview-subtitle": "$1 {{PLURAL:$1|byte|bytes}} removed, $2", and say in doc that $1 is byte change and $2 is a human timestamp.

We could consider using an icon for date and use the icon as punctuation
