Trac cannot use a 12-hour clock

[anonymous]

A 24-hour clock is great, but the United States, where a lot of developers reside, uses a 12-hour clock. I've tried setting locale options to en_US.UTF8, but it doesn't change the time displayed in the Timeline or anywhere else.

There should be a localization option for this.

In 0.13 this should be possible. However, at the current state we don't use the 12-hour format consistently when the selected language is en_US and the date format is set to Your language settings. The timeline for example still uses a 24-hour clock.

Btw, there's a glitch in the Date & Time Preferences panel, the Data format can be changed but after the change we display always Default date format, not the one that has been chosen.

Yes, possible! Committed in [10616]. The timeline page displays time in the your language settings. If en-US, it displays 12-hour clock.

Sorry, That is a stupid bug, fixed in [10602].

Thanks! Also, I think that for the introduction of #2182 to really pay off, we need to support #9777 as well, otherwise people risk to not even see the new formats ;-)

Ok, I agreed ;-) I am working #9777, now. ​https://github.com/jun66j5/trac/compare/t9777-absolute-datetime.
