I say 6pm but write 18:00. I imagine things like that can very easily lead to awkward translations.
I've found countries (Slovakia springs to mind) that would say "a quarter of 8" for 7:15 (think "7 hours and a quarter of the eighth hour") and "half 8" for 7:30. Time can translate in rather interesting ways.
