Daytime is always displayd as "Nachmittag" in German Language

Open ghost opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hello,

It seems that elementary OS Juno always displays the the current Day-Time-Frame as "Nachmittag" (German) or in english "afternoon" and not as "Morning", "Night", "Afternoon" depending on the current Day-Time.

I dont know if this also applies to the english Lang. but at least this behaviour applies to German.

Kind regards

This only happens to me when the time format is set to '12h' (which is the default in elementaryOS after the change to german language)...so 'nachmittags', in this case, is the german translation of the english 'PM'. (AM should be 'vormittags') You have to manually set the time format to '24h' to avoid the indication of 'nachmittags/vormittags' (this is what elementaryOS should do, when the user is setting the language to german) I think normally in germany we rarely use the 12h-time-format (AM/PM).

In addition, I also do not know how and where 'AM/PM' could be changed in the translation. Is this a upstream thing? language-pack-gnome-de or something?
