Package: locales
Version: 2.7-8
Severity: normal

Hi my current locale es_CR.UTF-8 lacks 12-hour format definition in LC_TIME. 
This is needed by the clock applet in gnome-panel to provide the option to 
allow 12-hour clock format. Reading (1) it is said that the format definition 
in en_GB could be used instead. AM/PM are the correct ways to specify 12-hour 
format. 

So I edited two lines in /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_CR 
        LC_TIME
        ...
        am_pm   "<U0041><U004D>";"<U0050><U004D>"
        t_fmt_ampm 
"<U0025><U006C><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020><U0025><U0050><U0020><U0025><U005A>"
        ...

Then regenerated the locales and the problem was fixed.

This could also be usefull for other spanish locales.

Please consider this change.
