Where can I translate like _today_ or change 12 hour am/pm to 24 hour time? Well, I know _where_ I should translate, but I can’t find right terms 😄

Hi @Jagster 🙂 Did you manage to find where you needed to make this change?

Thank’s for asking, but no. I know how to edit and change terms via admin, but I can’t find time related ones — or I couldn’t, because I haven’t check those after date of OP.

Chat doesn’t follow interface language either. Not a big issue, and I’m sure it will be fixed when chat start to be closer finish line 😉

You won’t be able to translate it, but it should translate itself. I will dig out why it’s not the case ATM.

This will now be possible to translate it:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/commit/5c56e843ad8002895ac02f5bd0aef34f0ee95f89](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/commit/5c56e843ad8002895ac02f5bd0aef34f0ee95f89)

As all our plugins, it’s only translated in english, but more should be done in the coming weeks.

Thanks for report 👍
