Please fix this bug. I have never ever had any problems getting a system/app/os/programming l to let me choose the time format i want.
I live in Sweden, If i set swedish as language in HA i get 24h clock. But i want to use english but then i get am/pm time format. Is it possible to use English language and get 24h clock? Thx…

Set it to English (GB).

Like mentioned a couple of times, set your language to English (GB) instead of English for the 24h time format.
There must be something wrong, as in my case it doesn’t work.
Ok, so I tried “solution” with English (GB). I have got what I want (24h format).
I’ve read the thread until the end and honestly I was not able to switch Chrome to display dates in logbook in 24H format.
Chrome sends the following in request header:
Accept-Language: en-GB,en;q=0.9,nl;q=0.8
I cannot remove “en” from that list because this is default Chrome language.
In console (opened for HASS website) I get the following:
> window.navigator.language
"en-GB"
> new Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().locale
"en-US"
> new Date().toLocaleTimeString()
"11:15:20 PM"
The only where “en-US” can leak from is that it is a Windows System language (used for Windows interface). The user’s region is set to UK.
The same difficulty with Home Assitant app for Android which does not display history in 24H format. In App Settings one can find the language settings with two choices: “Device Language” and “English (en)”. My device language is “English (United Kingdom)”.
I will appreciate if one succeeded with any above.
P.S. I cannot test Firefox, because Home Assistant UI simply does not work (files with message can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://hass.website/api/websocket in console however network log is error free, probably that is issue 8318).

There’s a PR open to enable this:

And it’s merged into dev, which means it would typically be part of the next release!
Thanks @spacegaier and @Bram_Kragten for your work on this!

Thanks alot Koying!
Was looking under det Person´s… But good its a general setting.
I recently changed to 24h clock, but noticed by a pure coincidence that the system incorrectly represented 00:50:29 as 24:50:29 in the plot of one of my sensors.

state after 2021.10:
Firefox: 24 and UTC
Chrome: am/pm and localtime
I want 24 and localtime.
Change your time format under your user. This setting needs to be applied on your user per browser.

Alright, thanks, that changed Chrome to 24 and locatime.
Firefox is still 24 and UTC, have to find the Firefox setting for that, I think.
The default user every setup starts with is “admin”, which doesnt have this option. One needs to create a user first in the HA installation to be able to change this format “per user” i suppose.
