hu_HU: change time separator to colon [BZ #18918]
The previous (11th) version of the Hungarian spelling rules (released in 1984) said that the separator had to be a dot, e.g. 10.35 meaning 10 o'clock 35 minutes. glibc correctly implements this. The brand new (12th) version, in effect since September 1, 2015 adopts to the common use of colon (especially in the digital world) and allows to use either separator, without even expressing a preference. For computer systems, using colons is way more typical and probably easier to recognize. Dot is typically used in printed materials. It also avoids an almost ambiguous situation where a space makes a difference, e.g. "10.15-ig" means "until 10 o'clock 15 minutes" whereas "10. 15-ig" means "until 15th of October". So I believe using the colon as the separator is not only more frequent in the computer world, but is also easier and quicker to recognize for the brain that it's about hour:minute rather than month and day. And luckily it's now equally correct according to the official rules. 11th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh11 12th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh12 In both editions it's the very last (299th and 300th, respectively) rule. Microsoft also uses and recommends a colon since at least May 2011: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/6/1/e61266b2-d8b4-4fe0-a553-f01dc3976675/hun-hun-StyleGuide.pdf The time format is different in common language and in the language of IT. In common texts we usually do not abbreviate, so the full forms are used: “7 óra 10 perckor csörgött a telefon”. However, the short format, consisting of numerals only, can also be used. In this case a period must be used between the two numbers and there must not be a space between them: “találkozzunk 10.45-kor”. However, in software mostly the short format is used, and the numbers are separated by a colon. An obvious example is the clock in the bottom right corner of your screen, thus 18:31.
