Yes, I found it there later, I was a little impatient and it wasn't
there when I first checked :-) thanks

>> Testing in 12.1.0 build 8 there appears to be something amiss with activity translations. Clock-8 is not finding it's translations an so defaults to the spoken text "What Time Is It", the previous version Clock-7 also had the same issue. Installing Clock-8 on 11.3.1 or on a very old build 802 accesses the translations correctly.
