Reproduce the issue with the device language set to French and inspect the Countdown Banner entry point and its French localization resources. Update the time abbreviations to follow the expected French casing and formatting, then verify the banner displays the corrected values on iOS.

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make sure your device is using French language
