Bug#466482: Locales: es_CR.UTF-8 lacks 12-hour format in LC_TIME
Package: locales
Version: 2.7-8
Severity: normal
Hi my current locale es_CR.UTF-8 lacks 12-hour format definition in LC_TIME. This is needed by the clock applet in gnome-panel to provide the option to
allow 12-hour clock format. Reading (1) it is said that the format definition in en_GB could be used instead. AM/PM are the correct ways to specify 12-hour format.
So I edited two lines in /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_CR
LC_TIME
...
am_pm "<U0041><U004D>";"<U0050><U004D>"
t_fmt_ampm "<U0025><U006C><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020><U0025><U0050><U0020><U0025><U005A>"
...
Then regenerated the locales and the problem was fixed.
This could also be usefull for other spanish locales.
Please consider this change.
