Avoid redundant code in this simple method

Question

I am wondering what would be an efficient way to simplify this very simple PHP method and I really lack inspiration:

public function formatToFullDate($countryCode, $hideTime = false)
{
 $format = '';
 if($hideTime === true)
 {
 switch($countryCode)
 {
 case 'us':
 case 'ca':
 $format = '%A %e %B %Y';
 break;
 case 'de':
 $format = '%A, den %e. %B %Y';
 break;
 default:
 $format = '%A %e %B %Y';
 }
 }
 else
 {
 switch($countryCode)
 {
 case 'us':
 case 'ca':
 $format = '%A %e %B %Y - %I:%M %P';
 break;
 case 'de':
 $format = '%A, den %e. %B %Y - %H:%M';
 break;
 default:
 $format = '%A %e %B %Y - %H:%M';
 }
 }
 return gmstrftime($format, $this->getTimestamp());
}

There is still some redundant code in there(' - %H:%M' and '%A %e %B %Y'). You could put these in variabels, but i like it so more. Sory for my bad English.

public function formatToFullDate($countryCode, $hideTime = false)
{
 $format = '';
 $time_format = '';
 switch($countryCode)
 {
 case 'us':
 case 'ca':
 $time_format = ' - %I:%M %P';
 $date_format = '%A %e %B %Y';
 break;
 case 'de':
 $time_format = ' - %H:%M';
 $date_format = '%A, den %e. %B %Y';
 break;
 default:
 $date_format = '%A %e %B %Y';
 $time_format = ' - %H:%M';
 }
 if($hideTime)$time_format = '';
 return gmstrftime($date_format.$time_format, $this->getTimestamp());
}

• cellover: Thanks for your suggestion, it is indeed more clean this way.
