Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu Feisty in zh_CN locale. The Gnome panel clock does provide an option to change the clock type between 12/24-hour, but it's not functioning. For example, assumed that it's now 11:45 pm, and I choose 12-hour as the clock type in Preferences of the panel clock. The time is still represented as 23:45. Restarting X doesn't help.
I had a look at /usr/share/
am_pm "<U4E0A>
And they're the exact words of am/pm in Chinese.

For nearly two weeks, this bug isn't reviewed by any moderators. I think neither will this be fixed soon by Ubuntu people, nor will anybody submit a patch. For Chinese users, I highly recommend Lunar Applet 1.5 as a replacement. It provides a clock of 12-hour type, a lunar calender and a similar look to Gnome panel clock. However, it lacks Evolution support.
In order to install Lunar Applet 1.5, you have to add an extra source (via System -> Administration -> Software Sources):
deb http:// ubuntu. cn99.com/ ubuntu- cn/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse
After that, use Synaptic to search and install "lunar-applet", then add it to the panel (and remove the Gnome panel clock). Remember to disable the source above after installation, because there are several unsigned packages which you probably don't want.
