Cannot change time format

[mjm455]

I'm using Belchertown v1.3.1 and it is running great. I'm not a fan of the 24h time format and it is not changing when I edit skin.conf.
I really want it to look like the authors page for Belchertown. Here is what that section of my file looks like:

[[TimeFormats]]
             day        = %I:%M
             week       = %I:%M on %A
             month      = %d-%b-%Y %I:%M
             year       = %d-%b-%Y %I:%M
             rainyear   = %d-%b-%Y %I:%M
             current    = %d-%b-%Y %I:%M
             ephem_day  = %I:%M
             ephem_year = %d-%b-%Y %I:%M

What am I doing wrong? I've looked for other discussions or closed issues but couldn't find much.

Hi change in weewx.conf the "belchertown_locale" options from auto to "en_GB.UTF-8" and your time will switch to 24h format.
To avoid errors in the weewx logs files you local os need to have the locals package installed.

apt-get install locales
dpkg-reconfigure locales option 87 option 3

Thanks for the reply. It is already set to a 24h format. How do I get it to 12h?

aha... misread your post....
Have you tried this setting ?

belchertown_locale = "en_US.UTF-8" ## change for 12 AM/PM h date time format

this is a list of all the locales
