There is not such a usage in glibc, indeeed, but according to CLDR,
it seems to be used the indicator above.
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/28/verify/dates/sq.html
Also, it seems that such expressions are commonly used. For example:
https://www.chess.com/sq/al/tv
On the other hand, there is PD/MD indicator as am_pm in sq_AL locale
in glibc. I do not know whether this is commonly used, but parhaps
this may not be a problem.
