    @Ultimatum22 Heh! There was already an existing one – MMM-TextClock – before I started mine. It is very good, but not exactly what I was looking for, hence why I wrote my own. Interested to see how yours turns out.

    Nice to have three to choose from!

      @pjkoeleman I had a few minutes, so I threw this together real quick. How does it look to you?

        That is looking very very good!
        I can only spot one minor issue. There is two times the Five (vijf) and two times the Ten (tien) in the image.

          @pjkoeleman Heh! No worries. Thanks for verifying. Hopefully others can help with the other languages.

            I didn’t found that other module, thanks for pointing it out.

            This is what I got so far, still a work in progress. The white square is supposed to be the rest minutes.

              I join my predecessor @pjkoeleman

              German Translation:

              {
               "ITIS": "Es ist",
               "HALF": "halb",
               "QUARTER": "viertel",
               "MINUTES": "Minuten",
               "TO": "vor",
               "PAST": "nach",

               "FOUR": "vier",
               "FIVE": "fünf",
               "SIX": "sechs",
               "SEVEN": "sieben",
               "EIGHT": "acht",
               "NINE": "neun ",
               "TEN": "zehn",
               "ELEVEN": "elf",
               "TWELVE": "zwölf",
               "TWENTY": "zwanzig",
               "OCLOCK": "Uhr",
               "THIRTEEN": "dreizehn",
               "FORTEEN": "vierzehn",
               "FIFTEEN": "fünfzehn",
               "SIXTEEN": "sechzehn",
               "SEVENTEEN": "siebenzehn",
               "EIGHTEEN": "achtzehn",
               "NINETEEN": "neunzehn",
               "THIRTY": "dreißig",
               "FORTY": "dierzig",
               "FIFTY": "fünfzig",
               "OH": "0?",
               "HUNDRED": "hundert",
               "ZERO": "null"
              }
              

              It’s one o’clock -> Es ist ein Uhr

              It’s five minutes past one -> Es ist fünf nach eins (more common) / Es ist fünf nach ein Uhr

              It’s ten minutes past one -> Es ist zehn nach eins (more common) / … ein Uhr

              It’s quarter past one -> regional different: “Es ist viertel zwei” - “Es ist viertel nach eins / … ein Uhr”

              It’s twenty minutes past one -> Es ist zwanzig Minuten nach eins / … ein Uhr

              It’s twenty-five minutes past one -> Es ist fünfundzwanzig Minuten nach eins / Es ist fünf vor halb zwei (more common)

              It’s half past one -> Es ist halb zwei (rounded up to next full hour)

              It’s twenty-five minutes to two -> Es ist fünfunfzwanzig Minuten vor zwei / Es ist fünf nach halb 2 zwei (more common)

              It’s twenty minutes to two -> Es ist zwanzig Minuten vor zwei / Es ist zehn nach halb 2 (more common)

              it’s quarter to two -> regional differenz: “Es ist dreiviertel zwei” - “Es ist viertel vor zwei Uhr”

              It’s ten minutes to two -> Es ist zehn Minuten vor zwei Uhr

              It’s five minutes to two -> Es ist 5 Minuten vor zwei Uhr

              It’s eleven o’clock (both 11:00 and 23:00) -> Es ist elf Uhr // Es ist dreiundzwanzig Uhr

              It’s twelve o’clock (both 00:00 and 12:00) -> Es ist null Uhr // Es ist zwölf Uhr

              It’s one o’clock (both 01:00 and 13:00) -> Es ist ein Uhr / Es ist dreizehn Uhr

              Normaly we leave the “minutes” and “o’clock” away, like saying time in Dutch.
              If you need more details, please ask.

                @clubbi Thank you! I’ll be adding this tonight along with a French translation.

                One question: I notice a small difference in the first example:

                It’s five minutes past one -> Es ist fünf nach eins (more common) / Es ist fünf nach ein Uhr

                in the second example, there is no “s” at the end on “ein”. Does this mean when it’s on the hour (e.g.: 1:00) one would say “Es ist ein Uhr”, but when the word “Uhr” is not used, there is an “s”? (e.g.: “Es ist fünf nach eins”). Is the case for any other hours? I noticed it wasn’t for “Es ist fünfunfzwanzig Minuten vor zwei”

                Also, is “Uhr” always capitalized? e.g.: would “Es ist elf uhr” be incorrect?

                Cheers!

                  @j.e.f.f In German the additional “s” is only relevant for the number 1. So without “Uhr” the “s” is required and with a sentence with “Uhr” the “s” must be omitted.
                  “Uhr” is always capitalized. So your example “Es ist elf uhr” is incorrect.

                    @clubbi @willfri OK here’s my attempt at making a German translation:

                    There were complications with having both “ein” and “eins” in the grid. So to avoid a special code case, for all times from 01:00 through 01:55, I always end with the word “Uhr.” I don’t do this for any other hours though… should I?

                    I took some creative license with displaying hours 13:00 through 19:00, as well as hours 21:00 through 23:00.

                    See both screenshots below for examples, and let me know if my translation works.

                      First of all, German is not my main language, but there are some things I see.

                      • 20:25 “Es ist fünf vor halb zwanzig” should be “Es ist fünf vor halb neun”, I would never use the “zwanzig” wenn I write the time like this or speak about the actual time.
                      • 20:30 is now written as “Es ist halb ein und zwanzig”. I think that has to be like in Dutch “Es ist halb neun”. Dutch and German look a lot the same.
                      • 20:35 schould be “Es ist fünf nach halb neun”
                      • 20:40 schould be “Es ist zehn nach halb neun”
                      • 20:45 schould be “Es ist viertel vor neun”
                      • 20:50 schould be “Es ist zehn vor neun”
                      • 20:55 schould be “Es ist fünf vor neun”

                      The use of “zwanzig” is strange in my opinion, but let some German speaking users decide how they want it to be.
