but where are, say, the Greek localizations in that? On Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 10:03 AM, Derick Rethans <tz@derickrethans.nl> wrote:

Yes, CLDR has what you need. That's what we use on Android to localize time zone names, starting from Olson ids. All that code is open source in AOSP, and icu4c does most of the work.
What is commonly requested but AFAIK not available anywhere is a localized list of world cities with their corresponding Olson id. CLDR has exemplar cities, so you can get "Los Angeles" from America/Los_Angeles, say, but there's nothing that would go from "San Jose" or "Portland" or "Seattle" to America/Los_Angeles.
Actually, such a list is there on http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/ - there is no meta data for the alternatives names for a city though, but it does map city to tzid.
cheers, Derick
