Description Johannes 2018-09-22 15:35:28 UTC
When my system is set to german language I can't change the time format to 12h, it just stays at 24h.

I tried it with arch linux (gnome 3.30) and with ubuntu 18.04 (gnome 3.28).

I made a short clip showing the bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16GDZB2DeKw

When I try it with e.g. spanish it is working like with english, I didn't test all available languages so I don't know if it is only with german.

I reported this bug also at gitlab: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/601 
and Andre wrote:
"
Random current strftime examples (msgid=english; msgstr=german):
msgid "%B %d, %l∶%M %p"
msgstr "%e. %B, %H∶%M"

msgid "%b %-e_%l:%M:%S %p"
msgstr "%a, %e. %b_%H:%M:%S"
"
.. but I don't know what this should mean, but maybe it helps to know.


For PM the german translation could be "nachm." (Nachmittag) and for AM it could be "vorm." (Vormittag).

Sorry, I didn't see this bug report before but I changed the strings for the upcoming 3.32 release.

Thank you for reporting this. Feel free to add me to your next translation bug report.
