Sort of: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/commit/73e83eae294066266b98b80f525a88a5be3b38dd (presumably the en_GB translation is one of many that have not been updated to translate '12h' to '24h'). >From the upstream change: "Translators: you will want to translate this from '12h' to '24h' if your locale uses a 24-hour clock. Yes, it's a shame that we have to do this when in theory the locale already knows how to format time, but this is a pragmatic solution." I don't think this is actually a pragmatic solution for anyone except en_US speakers, so I've opened an upstream issue asking for a rethink. smcv
