But in the Java libraries I looked at (some years ago), there were the concept of time zone abbreviations, without translations.
As I looked at Gwillim Law's answer, I notice that I badly expressed my ideas. When I wrote "without translations", I intented to mean that no translation were provided (at that time); I should have made clear that translation was in fact forcasted. I am sorry to have been so inacurate. Gwillim Law wrote:
I looked at the source code in TimeZone.java.
Good thing, as I said I did not.
These names are stored as localized resource data of the class java.text.resources.DateFormatZoneData???, where ??? is the locale specifier, such as _fr_CA.
But are these datas really provided (with localized contents)? Antoine
