My Kindle Touch is 5.3.2.1. I want to set its clock format from 12- to 24-hour format.

From the wiki here I know to change LANG=en_GB.utf8 may do this work.

But AFAIK, it is LC_TIME that controls what format date should use. So I change /var/local/system/locale like this:

Code:

LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8
LC_ALL=

then I restart Kindle. However, it doesn't work. It still shows like 1:00 PM. But I"m sure that LC_TIME has been changed to en_GB.utf8 through

Code:

# locale

So what's wrong here? How could I change the clock format but not language setting? Thank you!
