Fwiw, over the year(s) of Plasma5, many times it was expressed that KLocale is greatly missed, especially when it comes to date/time formatting. QLocale just doesn't cut it and the digital clock applet is doing many tricks to get the stuff formatted as wanted. The biggest downside is that it applies to the clock applet only, so there can't be a single system-wide "Use 24h-clock format" switch. Clock in panel can/will be 24h format while everything else will be LC_TIME format (time stamps in Dolphin eg). There are some other examples where KLocale was missed in Plasma but I can't remember which ones that was right now, maybe someone will fill it. Maybe it could be worth bringing KLocale back in some limited form as an intermediate solution? Alternatively, do you John have any roadmap about QLocale? Perhaps we could help with filling the missing bits into QLocale directly too. Cheers -- Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer
