Hello,

i've been using kalarm for many years. I've recently switched to Archlinux and I'm getting an issue with time format.
The widget for editing time is using the "am/pm" system instead of the "24h" system.
Time column is wrong:
* time is displayed as "03:45 PM" instead of "15:45"
* date is displayed using "month/day/year" instead of "day/month/year"

I'm using kalarm 2.10.12-ak (with "KDE Development Platform 4.14.10")

My locale:
LANG=en_US.UTF8
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8
LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF8
LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF8
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF8"
LC_ALL=

My kalarm is using "British English" as "application language" (or so it says in Help menu)

An important note: I'm not using KDE. Just some KDE applications like kalarm
So I suppose I will not be able to use kde config dialogs or the like

Thank you.

Regards,

Check the regional settings in systemsettings.

On my upgrade to kubuntu 15.10 they were reset

Hi lolilol, did you solved the issue? Because I have exactly the same
problem. I love kalarm and I usually set the alarm time just entering
4 digits in 24hr format (e.g. 1635 for 4:35pm). But now it doesn't
work anymore. It was after some upgrade but I don't know how to fix
it. I have LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8. I loved when you could configure just
the time format for kalarm, not to have to change the global settings.

All other KDE applications report the time in 24hr format. Also
`date'. In kalarm applications language I have "American English" but
I don't know how to change it.

TIA, Mario
