tl dr  Let the modern java time classes of JSR 310 automatically generate localized text  rather than hard-coding 12-hour clock and AM PM   LocalTime                                        Represent a time-of-day  without date  without time zone or offset-from-UTC   now                                             Capture the current time-of-day as seen in a particular time zone      ZoneId of   Africa Casablanca                                                               Returns a  LocalTime  object   format                                          Generate text representing the value in our  LocalTime  object      DateTimeFormatter                            Class responsible for generating text representing the value of a java time object       ofLocalizedTime                             Automatically localize the text being generated          FormatStyle SHORT                        Specify how long or abbreviated the generated text should be                                                   Returns a  DateTimeFormatter  object       withLocale  Locale US                       Specifies a particular locale for the  DateTimeFormatter  rather than rely on the JVM   s current default locale  Returns another separate  DateTimeFormatter  object rather than altering the first  per immutable objects pattern                                                   Returns a  String  object       10 31 AM   Automatically localize  Rather than insisting on 12-hour clock with AM PM  you may want to let java time automatically localize for you  Call DateTimeFormatter ofLocalizedTime   To localize  specify    FormatStyle to determine how long or abbreviated should the string be  Locale to determine    The human language for translation of name of day  name of month  and such  The cultural norms deciding issues of abbreviation  capitalization  punctuation  separators  and such     Here we get the current time-of-day as seen in a particular time zone  Then we generate text to represent that time  We localize to French language in Canada culture  then English language in US culture   ZoneId z   ZoneId of   Asia Tokyo      LocalTime localTime   LocalTime now  z         Qu  bec Locale locale fr CA   Locale CANADA FRENCH       Or  Locale US   and so on  DateTimeFormatter formatterQu  bec   DateTimeFormatter ofLocalizedTime  FormatStyle SHORT   withLocale  locale fr CA     String outputQu  bec   localTime format  formatterQu  bec      System out println  outputQu  bec         US Locale locale en US   Locale US     DateTimeFormatter formatterUS   DateTimeFormatter ofLocalizedTime  FormatStyle SHORT   withLocale  locale en US     String outputUS   localTime format  formatterUS      System out println  outputUS       See this code run live at IdeOne com       10 h 31      10 31 AM
