Bug with German date/time


  • Subject: Bug with German date/time

There's a bug in Panther, AS 1.9.3, with German date and time. German times
often have " Uhr" at the end, even in short format. But AppleScript is
reading " Uhr", in short format, as if it were a "PM"-type designation for
afternoon, and adds 12 hours to all morning times. This is true even if you
go into System Preferences/International/Formats, click Customize, and
explicitly expose or type "Uhr" as "Before Noon" and "After Noon"
designators to the Time format. (In fact even if you _delete_ "Uhr" from
those text boxes they show up again.)

date "13.11.1996 8:30 Uhr" --> compiles to
--> date "Mittwoch, 13. November 1996 20:30:00 Uhr"

whereas

date "13.11.1996 8:30" --> compiles to
--> date "Mittwoch, 13. November 1996 8:30:00 Uhr"
