Subject: [Bug libc/791] wrong time zone for Asia/Jakarta
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2005 08:49:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050320084945.28911.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050317055544.791.anci@centrin.net.id>
------- Additional Comments From eggert at gnu dot org 2005-03-20 08:49 -------
As I understand it, abbreviations like "WIB" are in the Bahasa Indonesia
language; for example, "WIB" stands for "Waktu Indonesia Barat". However,
the tz abbreviations are English. For example, the abbreviation for the
current time in Montreal is "EST" (short for "Eastern Standard Time"),
even though most inhabitants of Montreal speak French and use a different
abbreviation.
The Unicode CLDR project <http://unicode.org/cldr/> is currently attempting
to address this issue, by providing translations for time zone abbreviations.
I suggest you contact them, as their current list of translations
<http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/diff/by_type/dates_timeZoneNames.html>
does not seem to address Indonesia.
