Well, I think the best option is number 2. It produces things that are correct in Danish (05:00 and 17:00 can both be "5 o'clock" in normal non-computer speech) which, although quite useless due to the ambiguity, is not a problem because no Danish user should/would be using 12-hour clock setting a

For Danish, ther is no 12-hour format. The best is then to leave the specification blank. Alternatively you can make the 12-hour format the same as the 24-hour format. keld On Sun, Mar 01, 2015 at 03:07:26PM +0100, Ask Hjorth Larsen wrote: > Hello Hannie > > I should clarify: This is when the

Hi Ask, If the comment explicitly says 12-hour clock, I think you should translate it as 12-hour+am/pm (%p). Hannie Op 01-03-15 om 15:07 schreef Ask Hjorth Larsen: Hello Hannie I should clarify: This is when the translator comment says "12-hour clock format" and there's another string called

Hello Hannie I should clarify: This is when the translator comment says "12-hour clock format" and there's another string called "24-hour clock format". I have to translate both, and I leave the 24-hour clock format unchanged. The locale settings should choose the 24-hour clock format presumably

We, the Dutch translation team, use the 24-hour clock most of the time, since this is custom in our country. Hannie Op 28-02-15 om 20:05 schreef Ask Hjorth Larsen: Hello In many languages including Danish, "am" and "pm" ("%p" in strftime) do not exist. When using the 12-hour clock one would s
