Maybe I'm blind, but how can I turn the clock voice to European 24 hour without AM/PM?
The Clock shows 21:34 but the Lady says 9:34 PM

I found a post where it says right click and use properties, but I can't find a properties menu option in the clock module of Nexus.

Any hint appreciated

Thank
DerBandit

Turn on Military time
Turn off AM/PM
Turn off say o'clock
You should be good to go.

Ah, but even then this is indeed an issue (and the funny thing is that I am Portuguese so time for me is also in 24 hour format).

You see, military time format is NOT 24 hour format. Military time format says 'the time is 23 hundred and 45' or something like that. True 24 hour format would be something like 'the time is twenty three fourty five'.

And that is not the only difference in the way different cultures say the time, which makes things a bit complicated.

Ah found the option. Now it's morning and can't tell yet if it will be correct :) talk to you after 12:59

Military time:
That is a clock based on 24 hours but would always count Zulu Time, which is Creenwhich meantime, regardless where you are in the world

8 o'clock in the morning would be o-eighthundred
6:15 PM would be eighteen fifteen

Thanks

Quite correct, and you use 'Hotel' for your local time.

Also you don't use 0000, as it causes confusion, it is either 2359 hrs Hotel (or Zulu) or 0001 hrs, read as twenty three fifty nine hours Hotel or tripple zero one hours Hotel.
