indicator-datetime intentionally doesn't format that string. Instead, it
sends a time_t to unity so that unity can update the string periodically
without indicator-datetime generating more bus traffic.

The time_t is pulled in by alarmMenu and appointmentMenu in
qml/Panel/Indicators/MenuItemFactory.qml, which then formats the string
using i18n.relativeDateTime() which is implemented in ubunut-ui-toolkit
at src/Ubuntu/Components/plugin/i18n.cpp's
UbuntuI18n::relativeDateTime(), though it appears to be marked for
translation there:

>        case DATE_PROXIMITY_NOW:
>            /* TRANSLATORS: Time based "this is happening/happened now" */
>            return dtr("ubuntu-ui-toolkit", "Now");
