Description Yang Hong 2006-04-21 21:42:40 UTC 
1. set locale to zh_CN.UTF8
2. start evolution
3. edit->preference->Calendar&Task
4. do some change in one day start/end time selection
5. thren "Invalid Time value" error dialog pops up, endless.

I guess this a translate vs code issue. oringal string was "10:00 AM", Shen translate it into chinese, it should be "上午 10:00", so it a Invalid Time value. 

  valid       invalid

"10:00 AM"   "上午 10:00"  (selected from combox menu)
"10:11 AM"   "上午 10:11"  (customed)

I proposal two ways: 

1. split them into two parts: "10:00" and _("AM"), thus you can split translated string correctly

2. mark it not translate able.

argh... after some testings i realized that i have to enable "12hrs" instead of "24hrs" format. /me slaps himself. :-)

ok, now i can reproduce this perfectly.
changing evo back to 24hrs date format isn't a workaround, because evo does not let me do that - the error pops up again and again. only way to get out it seems is to use the window manager's close button (X), pushing the "Close" button also does not work.
