The Costa Rica is using the AM/PM format for date time. See the links below: http://www.casapres.go.cr/ http://www.una.ac.cr/ http://www.ucr.ac.cr/ The patch below defines the AM/PM format for the es_CR locale. --- localedata/locales/es_CR.orig +++ localedata/locales/es_CR @@ -108,8 +108,8 @@ mon "<U0065><U006E><U0065><U0072><U0 d_t_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0064><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020><U0025><U0059><U0020><U0025><U0054><U0020><U0025><U005A>" d_fmt "<U0025><U0064><U002F><U0025><U006D><U002F><U0025><U0079>" t_fmt "<U0025><U0054>" -am_pm "";"" -t_fmt_ampm "" +am_pm "<U0041><U002E><U004D><U002E>";"<U0050><U002E><U004D><U002E>" +t_fmt_ampm "<U0025><U0049><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020><U0025><U0070>" date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020><U0025><U0065>/ <U0020><U0025><U0048><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020>/ <U0025><U005A><U0020><U0025><U0059>"

> It seems to be either AM/PM or a.m./p.m. > > But nowhere it is A.M./P.M. Oops you are right this is a mistake in my patch. The correct format is a.m./p.m. as defined by the Royal Spanish Academy: http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBusDPD?origen=RAE&lema=ante%20mer%EDdiem http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBusDPD?origen=RAE&lema=post%20mer%EDdiem The patch below should be correct now. --- localedata/locales/es_CR 30 Jul 2006 22:19:44 -0000 +++ localedata/locales/es_CR 20 Feb 2008 07:00:28 -0000 @@ -108,8 +108,8 @@ mon "<U0065><U006E><U0065><U0072><U0 d_t_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0064><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020><U0025><U0059><U0020><U0025><U0054><U0020><U0025><U005A>" d_fmt "<U0025><U0064><U002F><U0025><U006D><U002F><U0025><U0079>" t_fmt "<U0025><U0054>" -am_pm "";"" -t_fmt_ampm "" +am_pm "<U0061><U002E><U006D><U002E>";"<U0070><U002E><U006D><U002E>" +t_fmt_ampm "<U0025><U0049><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020><U0025><U0070>" date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020><U0025><U0065>/ <U0020><U0025><U0048><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020>/ <U0025><U005A><U0020><U0025><U0059>"
