The time format is 12 hour, in dolphin file list and file property window.

Yeah, total pain up the a***

I chose Ireland as setting:

You probably see a change only after opening a new dolphin.

I was and I still am totally annoyed that there is no really cosmopolitan setting proper for this like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

Locales seem easy at the beginning but it's like opening Pandora's box full of alien mind worms :D

Detailed settings>time.

Does that really work for you, always?

Whenever I tried to fine tune my settings like this sooner or later some program will complain, recently it was GSmartControl:

Code: Select all
Locale not supported by C Library


Found these two enlightening, yet disheartening threads:

https://superuser.com/questions/1162283/use-iso-time-and-date-format-in-kde-5
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/62316/why-is-there-no-euro-english-locale

So, I turned recently to en_SE (Sweden, english) but quite frankly this locale topic is like the proverbial choice between pest or cholera :-\

I'm belgian which also includes azerty keyboard. Never did I have problems with any time or local. Except with kde in debian. Not so much with time settings or whatever. The problem was (maybe still is) with a simple mix up of the desktop folder. In flemish (Dutch) it's bureaublad. I had to set that each and every time in the settings, but then it wasn't recognized as such for other functions. But time? Not once.
