That sounds like a horrible hack to me. And I don't live in
Germany and want a 24 hour clock.
Not for me running English UI with Finish locales ;)
So not a lot of help.
And I'm still wondering where this UK = am/pm clock style only
comes from.
POSIX locale. Specifications for US/UK say you use 12 hour time.
Oh good. Well at least I know who got it wrong.
I do not see this as something that would be high enough on
our agenda right now.
For me it's lower priority that getting an email client that
works so I don't have to online and paying Orange's outrageous
data charges to read my mail. Having said that, I'd be
interested to know why the original implementation is broken
and on what basis the decision was made.
Nothing is broken, all works as specified ;)
As I said, we migh look into it, but AFAIK this would mean we either
modify the current locale (really nasty) or create a pseudo-locale
with
the user setting (just nasty). Unless someone has better idea or
understanding of the POSIX locales. Either way, I'd feel we would
be the
only UNIX system doing this (does OSX do it too?). Ideas welcome.
Amusingly, the AM/PM options is not available to me in OSX
preference so while it is now 20:49 in 24 notation, I can only get
08:49 not 08:49PM.
Which seems to me to be wrong,
Andy
