Not in English, but the direct translation is used in other European languages.

Danish: klokken 14

German: 14 Uhr

That does mean native speakers of languages like this might say "14 o'clock" when speaking English.

I very occasionally use this if I need to be certain to be understood by someone who rarely speaks English, "we'll arrive at 19 o'clock". (A friend's parents in rural rest-of-Europe, for example.)
