Enforcing 12 hour time is an insult to many nations across the world

Enforcing 12 hour time is an insult to many nations across the world who pay for your overpriced products. Sure I am Latvian, you wont make a Latvian language version. Neither a Ukrainian, Belarusian whatever the languages that are generally ignored. But, dear people allow the option for 24/7 time clock that many of us across the world use! I have to use then a Russian language I dont really want to use,as many in my country just can read it and not type in that language, while the game often requires me to use a search box. English language is for many second foreign language, but 12 hour format is not used!   Many here dont even have a Russian keyboard or they dont use it at all.  I know Sims 3 had a very normal option to select a 24/7 clock, what is the reason for this enforcing of your exceptionalism? Being just lazy overpaid, cant add a simple option. I don't know.  It is very insulting and disappointing, and just add to despise to your company.

    I agree about the clock thing, but why are you using russian and not english, when you seem to be prolific in it? I use the english language setting myself, even though my country has a translation, simply because the translation isn't that great (it is very childish).

    Very simple - ENGLISH US has default 12 hour time AM's and PM's.

    RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AS MANY OTHER VERSIONS HAVE DEFAULT 24 TIME FORMAT.

    Would be not a issue if there was a ENGLISH UK that would have 24 hour time format.

    Russian language uses Cyrillic, Latvian uses Latin English uses Latin.  So I feel forced to use it because of input problems. Game always asks to buy this and buy that, and if I cant find trough the myriad of menus I have issues. I only read Russian and sometimes speak it. So I have an issue with search option in the build menu. Should I change back to English I am again forced to use uncomfortable AM and PM 12 hour time. Thats it.

    Ofc I am fully aware the EA will do nothing about this, and because of this I canceled EA play subscription, I rather move that monthly sum to charity.
