**Hi everyone** ,

I’m building a team scheduling app with **Glide Pages** , and I’ve come across a weird issue with the **display of start times** , but **only on iPhones** and only when the device is set to **French or German**.

Here’s the situation:

- My event is scheduled from **20:00 to 21:00**
- It displays correctly in the **Glide Editor** and in **Google Chrome**
- It also works fine on my **iPhone when the device is in English**
- But when the iPhone is set to **French or German** , it shows incorrectly:

> e.g. “Meeting 8:00 - 21:00” instead of “20:00 - 21:00”

It seems like Glide is **misinterpreting the start time** when the phone is using a different system locale. This is a big issue for me because my users are from different countries and speak multiple languages, so I need the app to behave consistently.

**What I’ve tried:**

- Verified all times are stored as proper `Date/Time` fields
- Tested across different phones and browsers
- Reproduced it reliably by switching device language from English to French/German

**Questions:**

- Is there a workaround to **force 24h time format** regardless of device language?
- Could this be a **locale/time formatting bug** in Glide’s mobile rendering?

Any help or insight would be appreciated!

Thanks,  
Pierre
