English - Can you change the text 'after' to 'past' in the English version please about fuzzy-text-international HOT 7 CLOSED

I think that there are different opinions on which sounds better. I'm open to making the change - but I would prefer to implement it as an alternative translation.

Actually, it would help me to have some data on who prefers 'after' vs. 'past'. So may I ask which variant of English you prefer? E.g., American, Canadian, British, etc.

Speaking personally, I am an American English speaker from the west coast. I think that 'after' sounds slightly more natural. But I have had other requests to make this change; so I recognize that others have the opposite view.

Hi there,

I am British and we normally say 'past' and not 'after', so perhaps there
is a need for either more languages, based on location, or more
customisation to select a regional preference.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Tom

Sounds good. If you don't mind me asking another question: I have read that sometimes British English uses "half three" instead of "half past three". Which do you prefer?

Either will be fine :)

I would also like to request a European "half past three", "ten past three" alternative, please!

This is implemented in v1.2.1 (now in the Pebble store). Just select the English (Great Britain) translation. The only change in that translation is replacing all occurrences of "after" with "past".
