Sorry but that is not how it works in Portugal.
We usually say 15.00 unless it is clear from context that 3 is 15.00.
For example if I am scheduling to meet for a coffee at 3, it surely isn't 3 AM.
Now if I am talking about meeting for something else at 10, and it isn't clear from context, usually I will be asked if I mean 10 or 22.
Besides AM / PM is something that we have to deal with in English based devices, that is it.
