how do I set a 24 hour clock?

[Tom Brus]

Hi,

I would like to see dates in a 24 hour representation instead of AM/
PM.

Anybody any tips how to get that done in Jenkins?

Thank,
Tom

Hi Tom,

this depends on the preferred locale setting of your browser.

Cheers,
Simon.

Thanks Simon,

I use Chrome on a Mac, my Mac is set to a 24 hour clock, does anybody know how to set Chrome to 24 hour clock?

Otherwise I will use the plugin...

Thanks,

Tom

Unfortunately the plugin does not do the trick for me...

I can set the locale to dutch and all text is turned into dutch (which I do not want) but the clocks are still in AM/PM (which I do not want).

:-(

Chrome -> Options -> Under The Hood
Change font and language settings
Languages - > Dutch - Nederlands

Then move it above the top English (American).

At least that's where it is in Chrome in windows. TFM doesn't seem to
say that this is supported on Mac (but could be out of date)?

Thanks Teilo, on the Mac there is no "Change font and language settings" there, at least not for me (Chrome 9.0.597.107) :-(

Going to do some googling I guess...

The manual page you refer to mentions it explicitly:

windows: "Change font and language settings"

mac: "Change font settings"

Furthermore, for the Mac it states:

Currently the browser interface language is determined by the Language & Text setting in System Preferences

 

this obviously is not true or not completely true since I have it on a 24 hour clock there.

Does anybody have a quick hint how to see what my browser sends to Jenkins in the area of locale?

If it is send correctly then Jenkins is to blame if it is not send correctly I can raise the issue for Chrome.

Thanks,

Tom

wireshark would help here. Or you could setup a simple logging proxy.

Fwiw I get 24 hour clock with the en-gb locale and a 12 hour with en-
gb.

If your locale by default is 12 hour and you have just changed it
locally ijn your time settings then the locale takes precedence.

I did some more testing.

It turns out that if I set my Mac to Dutch overall then I get a 24 hour clock in Jenkins.

The setup I normally have is: English as a basis and tweak to a 24 hour clock on top of that.

Being a developer it feels more natural to have english as interface language, all those dutch terms for technical concepts make me giggle somehow ;-)

Anyhow, Chrome obviously sends the locale over and not the details changed on top of that.

Jenkin does its rendering and interface language based on this.

Maybe my setup is a bit too weird... 

I would appreciate a 24/12 setting in Jenkins, overruling the locale, but I am aware that it might be a bit exotic.

Any supporters?

I will try to live with the current limitations I guess.

Thanks guys,

Tom

Hi Tom,

another workaround would be to choose "British English" (not just
"English") in your Mac OS language system preferences panel. It worked
for me using Chrome on Max OS X.

Of course, a better solution would be Hudson respecting the locale
plugin settings for formatting time/dates/numbers as well ;O).

Cheers,
Simon.

Hiha, that did the trick for me!

Thanks a lot Simon.

Hi,

I've been reading the thread and I also like to make a feature request
for having this not depend on the browser.

For me, language and date time formatting are different things. I
usually work with all my interfaces in English (German translations are
crap or sound dull), but date/time formatting really needs to be in my
locale.

An observation I made from FogBugz: it has a few different regional site
settings:
1) language
2) date, time and number format
3) time zone

It would be really great if 1) and 2) could be separate for Jenkins and
not necessarily depend on the browsers headers.

Sorry for the double posts.

I tried posting through nabble first (twice), but they were held up for some reason. I deleted the nabble posts and posted again on google groups. That went through straight away. Now obviously nabble woke up, forgot about my deletes and posted. 

I will not use nabble again, just google groups. Sorry again.
