In Russian, "AM" and "PM" are translated as "до полудня" and "после полудня". The thing is, these strings are quite long, so they eat up a lot of useful space (say, in Messages app). I think we can leave "AM" and "PM" untranslated in Russian.

Why not use acronyms "ДП", "ПП" accordingly?

@hyper_sonic IMHO they just look kinda stupid. And they're not widespread in Russia at all.

To be honest, I did not think the 12 hour format was used anywhere except in the English speaking world. I mean, the rest of the world can count to more than 12, right? ;)

We have many English speaking things which use 12 hour format :) Also it is like clock with hands. So some people like 12 hour format
