Computer Support
In most countries, computers by default show the time in 24-hour notation. For example, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS activate the 12-hour notation by default only if a computer's language and region settings are:
- Albanian
- Chinese (Singapore and Taiwan)
- English (Australia, Belize, Canada, Caribbean, Jamaica, New Zealand, Philippines, Trinidad, South Africa, United States, and Zimbabwe)
- Greek
- Japanese (Tokyo and Aomori)
- Korean (Seoul and Pyongyang)
- Spanish (Mexico and parts of South America)
- Swahili
The 24-hour system is commonly used in text-based interfaces. Programs such as ls default to displaying timestamps in 24 hour format.
