Please describe the problem in as much detail as possible:

I would like to see time in 24 hour format for the score. Please :-)

Thanks! That helps a lot. Do you perchance have your OS language set to English?

david · April 14

Also, can you go here: https://greenfelt.net/language-test and paste in what it prints out?
For instance, in my browser I get:

{
  "navigator": {
    "language": "en-US",
    "languages": [
      "en-US",
      "en"
    ]
  },
  "resolved": {
    "undefined": {
      "locale": "en-US",
      "now": "04/14/2026, 04:26 PM"
    },
    "navigator_language": {
      "locale": "en-US",
      "now": "04/14/2026, 04:26 PM"
    }
  }
}

      "now": "04/15/2026, 03:42 PM"
    },
    "navigator_language": {
      "locale": "nb",
      "now": "15.04.2026, 15:42"
    }
  }
}

Yes? And what is the message in this? It says 2"now": "15.04.2026, 15:42" So why not in the score?

It turns out there are 2 ways to get the language and "locale" used to format the dates according to your local customs: the "undefined" and "navigator_language" entries under "resolved". The difference between the 2 ways is confusingly worded in the standards and works counterintuitively: If you don't pass a locale at all (the "undefined" way) it chooses the language/locale set in the OS preferences. The "navigator_language" method chooses the language/locale that is set in the browser preferences. Furthermore it only behaves in the way I just described on macOS and Linux machines, on Windows it apparently always uses the browser preferences. Yay, browsers :-).

As you might guess from the results, the high score tables are currently using the "undefined" method. We'll switch that to the "navigator_language" method and it should fix things.

And thanks for helping us, getting the info from you was extremely useful in understanding the problem.

Yuhu! It works! But are all the other players from the same time zone as me? I'm in CET.

david · April 21

Nope, they're from all around the world. We show them all in your local timezone because otherwise it's quite hard to tell how the times relate to each other.
