Public bug reported:

I'm on image #203 on mako and use a German locale.

In other apps, the 24h format is used (which is what I, and other
Germans, would expect). In the messaging app however, I see "11:34
nachm.", which is supposed to mean "23:34". Unfortunately "nachm." is
short for "nachmittag", so "afternoon", which hardly makes sense for
23:34. This is due to the fact, that we have no good way of expressing
AM/PM in German, as it's simply not used.

If the messaging-app used the 24h format on a German locale, the problem
would be fixed.
