Here are some links to salvadorian newspapers, web portals and goverment institution, all using the a.m./p.m. format: http://www.laprensagrafica.com/el-salvador/social/25282-830-p-m.html http://www.clic.org.sv/agenda.php?funcion=detalle&evento=887 http://www.sc.gob.sv/Publicaciones/Licitaciones/licitaciones_08.htm i hope this link can be evidence enough. But i don't understand something: why is there so much problem with enabling at least an option for the user to choose whether if they want to use the a.m./p.m. format or not. I think any OS have this as an option, and it is weird -for not saying ridiculous- we spanish speaking people having to convince and prove you -ubuntu programmers i guess- what we are saying its true!! I normally enable this option by editing the locale file. The first time i did it was a headache, and shouldn't be this way. My dad's installed ubuntu and he found too that the time format he is used to is not available not even as an option. It is not linux, and consequently ubuntu, all about choice? So i don't understand the reluctance to enable the a.m./p.m. format, at least as option if not as default. It is not technically difficult do it -i could-, so i feel it is all about willingness and openness. -practically there is zero bad consequence in user experience by enabling this option even in countries that don't use it. so please! come on guys, don't get that complicated in a decision that should be that simple! anybody latin people agrees with me? best regards, Alejandro, -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5910 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
