Arabic locale time issue

[Xellly]

Hello,

I changed my application to Arabic and had an issue with the DateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm-a"), it always puts the Arabic letter instead of AM or PM, even when locale is set to English in the widget. This is causing me issues as DateTime apparently can't deal with it and results in an exception.

Edit:
This happens to whatever the language the phone has, had it happen with Chinese despite my app only supporting English and Arabic.

I made it a string and replaced PM and AM manually
