That doesn't help I don't think, the problem is this
(gnome-core/applets/gen_util/clock.c):

     cd->hourformat = gnome_config_get_int("clock/hourformat=0");

"0" means "12 hour format" - then the "12 hour format string" and the
"24 hour format string" are marked for translation, but the
translation isn't supposed to change 12 vs. 24 hours or the prefs
dialog will suddenly be really nonsensical.

i.e. the bug is about the default setting. Not that I have any idea
how to fix this if it's not as simple as "outside US defaults to 24h
time"

BTW, using "0" and "1" as magic values in a config file is total
rastercode ;-) see ~/.enlightenment/.e-session-XXXXXX or whatever ;-)
