Notice that my main preoccupation is wrt to the _latin alphabet_
(Spanish, English, Portuguese, ...). In languages/locales with this
alphabet, I strongly believe that having the AM/PM format string makes
more sense than waiting for a bug report being filed.

1. In this bug report I am speaking about es_do in particular, but my
worries lie with latin alphabet locales in general.


2.  - Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (in the "Eventos" lower-right tab):
        http://uasd.edu.do/index.php/es/

    - Ministerio de Educación (in the copyright at the bottom and in the 
"Servicios y Consultas" tab):
        http://www.minerd.gob.do/Pages/inicio.aspx


3. In indicator-datetime, if you don't have the AM/PM string it looks 
unpolished and inaccurate. This is accentuated when the installation defaults 
to 12h format.

FWIW, notice that I am not aware of an international attempt to send the
12h format to oblivion. If so, at the very least the installation image
should default to 24h format for all (latin alphabet) locales (since,
IMO, 12h format without AM/PM doesn't look right or polished).

Title:
  AM/PM string missing on Spanish locales

Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is basically the same as bug #38892, but for Spanish (Latin
  American) locales. Can't the AM/PM format be defined for at least all
  the latin alphabet locales (where I think it makes more sense than
  not)?
