If you want this localized, you don't want to assume the use of colons, the presence of an "a" or even the physical placement within the string for "am"—it could be at the start. Look at NSLocale and some of the lower-level frameworks like those in CoreFoundation and ICU to get something you'll be happy with in Russian, Chinese, Taelon, and Klingon as well as English.

There may not be a foolproof way to do this — it may be that the best you can do is to look up the hour/minute separator string from the locale and format the time yourself.
