If you want this localized, you don't want to assume the use of colons, the presence of an "a" or even the physical placement within the string for "am"—it could be at the start. Look at NSLocale and some of the lower-level frameworks like those in CoreFoundation and ICU to get something you'll be happy with in Russian, Chinese, Taelon, and Klingon as well as English. -- Gary L.
