In the daily build triggers, I need to set the time in 12-hour format. It would be great if I could set that in 24-hour format.

Continua gets the format for the time picker using CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat.LongTimePattern to pick up the relevant format for the users culture based on the Accept-Language header sent by the web browser. For “en-us”, this is 12 hour format. Interestingly “nl-NL” would be 24 hour format.   
  
 We’ll look into implementing a server setting to override this and switch between 24 hour and 12 hour formats.

That’s weird. I made sure that the dutch settings applied:

 The language of the OS is English (US), but the locale is Dutch (nl-NL).

The web browser has it's own language settings.&nbsp;

Eg. for Chrome this is under Settings -\> Advanced -\> Language. Ensure that Netherlands is at the top of the list.&nbsp;Attachment unavailable

Cool. I don’t even have to enable it as display language (I want chrome to be en-US), just dragging “Nederlands” to the top fixes the issue. Thanks!
