Greetings everyone,
I was wondering if there’s a way to bring back the timezone display in the Properties window as it used to be.
To clarify, I’m on Fedora 41 using Dolphin (Version 24.12.3), and when I click Properties on a file, this is what I see (as an Italian user):
As you can see, after the date, it now shows “Ora standard dell’Europa centrale” — a rather lengthy and unnecessary text.
In contrast, this is how it appeared in Dolphin (Version 23.08.5):
Instead of the longer text, it displayed the much cleaner CET (which stands for Central European Time).
Was this change intentional, or is it a mistake? If unintentional, should this be reported to the Dolphin team or the translations team?
Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer.

Checking.
It is not related to this change.
English and French are also concerned.
It has something to do with Qt it seems or its localization that now spell out the timezone in full instead of the short version 
We can see the change is system wide in the localization settings “Country and Language” in system settings for the hour setting.
I agree this is quite terrible, the main issue is upstream.
We might want to add a “custom” lang format to be able to tweak this, but this is not simple.
Please report a bug on bugs.kde.org
I had a look at /usr/share/i18n/locales/fr_FR (my local).
They are two dates format defined in LC_TIME section: d_t_fmt and date_format.
The first one seems to correspond to what we had and date_format what we currently have.
Perhaps Qt is now using the more verbose date_format for its long data format.
Thank you very much for the inputs. Bug reported:
