dates = ['1 year, 10 months, 15 days',
         '2 years, 1 month, 15 days',
         '1 month, 15 days',
         '1 yesr',
         '2 months',
         '15 days',
         '1 days',
         '2 year, 1 month, 1 day']

print dates


def _(string):
    # Return translated string.
    # e.g. _("days") returns "天" here.
    #      and don't worry, you can say that _("day") also returns "天".
    return string  # we pretend it's translated

# Q: how to translate all English unit to Chinese?
# For example:
#       ['1 年, 10 個月, 15 天',
#        '2 年, 1 個月, 15 天',
#        '1 個月, 15 天',
#        ...

Oh, I have got one more exception for this string: 'less than 1 day' XD
