Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

First, please take a look at the attachment for further information.

This is a bug since a long time ago (may be from 6.06, not sure), the units of time displayed as Squre-shape characters instead of hr, min, sec (That should be in traditional Chinese, but sorry for that I can just type English now).

I am not sure about what the units displayed for other languages, you may take a look of them too.

The wrong displaying may confuse the user whether is the time is wrong, and cannot determine if he/she choose is right or not. Furthermore, there are some users afraid of using Ubuntu while they don't believe this is comfortable for their daily use.

Please fix this as soon as possible. We, members of traditional Chinese community, will appreciate that a lot! (There were some guys made fun of this when they were fighting Ubuntu Linux was actually suitable for normal human using traditional Chinese as native language or not. )

I am sorry that I was wrong two hours ago.

I found out that if you choose English at the boot menu of live CD, than you choose 繁體中文 while installation and the time format will displayed well.
However, if you choose 繁體中文 at the boot menu of live CD, the time format will still display as squares.

It seems the clock has set to 24-hour clock in Lucid Beta2.

The attachment is the new displaying result while choosing 中文(繁體) First.

Thanks for improving that!
