Well, I disagree that it would make sense to include the AM/PM format in all locales for countries with the latin alphabet. The conventions differ between countries - that's why we have different locales. My own country, Sweden, and Germany are just two examples I know of where AM/PM is not in use at all. So this has to be handled locale by locale.

I changed the bug title accordingly.

It should be noted that also bug 1239842 deals with the es_DO locale, but it suggests also other changes but the am/pm thing.

Thank you! That's good enough for me.

I cherry picked the am/pm part in bug 1239842 and used it in the attached patch.
