Bug Description

Shotwell shows a photo being shot at 11:11 although the original EXIF data give the time as 23:11. By default, the dconf key org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.ui.use-24-hour-time was set to false ("…should use AM/PM notation"). However it displays the time without AM/PM (at least under German locale).
When enabling the dconf key, it still does not use the 24 hour format.

This is in so far a problem that the 12 hour format is (at least without Anglo-Saxon AM/PM) incorrect.

Preferably Shotwell should make use of the system-wide setting for the 12/24 hour format, which is automatically derived from the localization.
For comparison see the documentation for com.canonical.indicator.datetime.time-format="locale-default"

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Changed in shotwell (Ubuntu):

This is an outstanding bug. For some reason the LP ticket was marked as fixed (bug #1035067) although it was never fixed; Shotwell began using locale-specific strings (which some translators haven't added, unfortunately) but the 24-hour problem is a separate issue and not fixed in Shotwell.
