Hello. In my country default time format is 24h, not 12h as it is presented when English language selected. So it is very uncomfortable for me that each time is displayed in this format. I saw that when you switch language to Deutsch then every time is shown in 24h format, but if you don’t know Deutsch, it’s not a good solution.
My suggestion is to add to the settings the option to choose the 12h / 24h time format.
Hmmm the time format should depend on the locale set in your browser, not on the language you configured. But I think it would make sense to have a separate setting for this.
My language is Polish. I checked it on Firefox, Chrome and Edge, but they all show in 12h format. So maybe the error only applies to the Polish language?
Ok, everything works as you wrote. I just used “image: vikunja/api:latest” and “image: vikunja/frontend:latest” instead of “image: vikunja/api:unstable” and “image: vikunja/frontend:unstable”. I’m sorry for the trouble.
Glad you found a solution! The latest docker images contain the latest release, so if the bug was present in the unstable release but not in the last release, we may have introduced a bug since the last release. I’ll take another look but please report again if the problem arises again after the next stable release.
After adding Polish to Vikunja, the problem came back. When English is set in Vikunja settings, the hours are displayed in 24h format. However, if I set the Polish language, then hours are displayed in 12h format. I have checked other languages and format is:
12h format:
CZ, IT, NL, PL
24h format:
DE, EN, FR, PT, swiss, VN, RU
So the time format definitely depends on the language you choose. It would be good if the Polish language setting also displayed the 24h format.
Also I see the same problem with the dates display:
EN
14 Feb 2022
PL
Feb 14, 2022
In the Polish language it should be also as in English (14 Feb 2022).
huh that’s kind of wired. I think the best way to solve this really is a setting for the time format.
I think so too. That would solve the problem.
I know this is an old post… I too am having trouble setting the EN timezone format to 12hr. I see there are two settings;
VIKUNJA_DEFAULTSETTINGS_TIMEZONE: America/New_York
VIKUNJA_SERVICE_TIMEZONE: EST
Neither work for me. Has anyone come across this and found a solution to share?
@nmincone are you Windows? The settings are probably dictated by OS settings. Specifically regional format
I’m running this in off a Debian Docker server in Firefox. I don’t even see the AM/PM indicator in the Vikunja calendar popup (see my post image).
Yes, now that I checked OS regional format setting does not affect time format in datepicker which it should do
Currently, there is no way to change the time format.
