我已经找到了一个不错的方法来确定这一点，我添加了一个小函数到 NSLocale 类别中.它似乎非常准确，并且在对多个区域进行测试时没有发现任何问题.

I've figured out a decent way of determining this with a little function I've added to a category of NSLocale. It appears to be pretty accurate and haven't found any problems with it while testing with several regions.

@implementation NSLocale (Misc)
- (BOOL)timeIs24HourFormat {
    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [formatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
    [formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
    NSString *dateString = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
    NSRange amRange = [dateString rangeOfString:[formatter AMSymbol]];
    NSRange pmRange = [dateString rangeOfString:[formatter PMSymbol]];
    BOOL is24Hour = amRange.location == NSNotFound && pmRange.location == NSNotFound;
    [formatter release];
    return is24Hour;
}
