I have something like (with the af0dfdc version on fedora 23 and the french language) :

jeu., 03 juin 2016 01:45, instead of
jeu., 03 juin 2016 13:45.

Apparently I have the 12-hours format without the AM/PM indication, so morning and afternoon cannot even be discriminated…

Hello, you can configure the time format manually in the config file keys.dat, the variable name is "timeformat". Just watch out because you have to escape % with %, so it's slightly different than strftime. In your case, just replace

%%I

with

%%H

Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no way to configure it in the GUI.

For the french locale (and others) %p in strftime is empty or a single space. The absence of AM/PM for some locales is correct as 24 hour time is usually the norm and sometimes there is no one-to-one equivalent for "am" or "pm".
The default setting for timeformat during creation of keys.dat should be changed to simply %c for the better supported locale-specific datetime representation. The current default setting is unusual in some locales.
