Times not respecting my locale

[bhdouglass]

I have my locale set to English/US in the system settings. I would expect that the message times be shown in am/pm, but instead it shows 24 hour time (14:30 vs 2:30pm). This is for both the conversation view, the list of conversations, and the group member view (possibly the "last online time" thing as well for the personal conversations).

Hmm you got a quick fix for me how to convert date and time in Qt? I am currently browsing all various kinds of documents, but nowhere I find how to determine if the system local uses 12 or 24 hrs.

Is it possible to do something like this? http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtqml-date.html#toLocaleDateString-method

Oh, someone filed an analogue issue for the calendar... ;-) That's how i'll do it there in one place: Qt.formatTime( new Date(0,0,0,index), Qt.SystemLocaleShortDate)

Eh where goes the date I want to display in this string?

Working on this now... @bhdouglass can you help with the following formats and their respective System locale identifier or idk:

QString Cutegram::getTimeString(const QDateTime &dt)
{
    if( QDate::currentDate() == dt.date() ) // TODAY
        // TRANSLATORS: Format string: time.
        return dt.toString(tr("HH:mm"));
    else
    if( dt.date().daysTo(QDate::currentDate()) < 7 )
        // TRANSLATORS: Format string: day and time (ex. Tue 21:30)
        return dt.toString(tr("ddd HH:mm"));
    else
    if( dt.date().year() == QDate::currentDate().year() )
        // TRANSLATORS: Format string: day and month (ex. 28 Feb)
        return dt.toString(tr("dd MMM"));
    else
        // TRANSLATORS: Format string: full date
        return dt.toString(tr("dd MMM yy"));
}

...and forget the translation, probably can be removed

For en_US (and anywhere else that uses am/pm) this is what I would suggest:

• HH:mm -> hh:mm ap
• ddd HH:mm -> ddd hh:mm ap
