Re: translating clock.schemas.in in gnome-panel

[Noah Levitt <nlevitt columbia edu>]

One possible way around this would be to try to get the
information from the locale using nl_langinfo (T_FMT), or by
formatting a simple time like 13:00 with strftime ("%x").
Unfortunately the output of either of these requires some
parsing, which I guess is why you didn’t do it in the first
place.
