Original description:

Hello, the date format shown with basic informations on the bottom of the side
bar is 12 hours format without any mention of AM or PM. Disturbing not to see
if it is morning or afternoon. Even when default option is set to 24 hour
format, basic informations use incomplete 12 hour format.

What version of Shotwell are you using? We attacked this problem in 0.14 and
thought it was fixed for all major languages.

What format are you expecting? 12-hour format with AM/PM or 24-hour format?

Updated by Thierry Le Guillou 6 months ago

Version 0.14.1 with Ubuntu and Yorba PPA (ppa.launchpad.net/yorba)

I think 24h format is the best because more universal (12h AM/PM format is a
very anglo-saxon way).

Thanks to take my remarks in account.

#5

Updated by Joe Bylund 6 months ago

  * **File** issue_6939.patch added
  * **Category** set to _Internationalization_

I can confirm this is an issue in French. Patch displays 24 hour time (based
on Thierry's input), and also fixes the developer replacing a "[nbsp]" with a
space.

I can confirm this for Spanish too using shotwell 0.14.1 on Debian Jessie
(testing).

Problem comes from translation files, there is no translation for time-format
strings in the es.po file, so shotwell is using the default string: "%-H:m
%p", the AM/PM format.

I guess there will be more languages with this problem.

As a workaround I edited the .po file, rebuild the .mo one from it (using
msgfmt) and I copy the mo file to the appropiated location.

  * **Status** changed from _Fixed_ to _Open_
  * **Priority** changed from _Low_ to _High_

It looks like this remains a problem in a number of translations:

I think we should take a hard look at #2462 as the cure for this problem.
