Windows appears to be able to handle non ascii timezone names(*), does anyone know if their database has any localized timezone names?
I remember I helped someone on IRC once with timezone abbreviations (in mingw) not coming out right because the name was localized into Spanish. So it appears so... though, I'm not sure how reliable those are, when they're scarcely ever displayed to the user, and often are nonsense even in English ["US Eastern Standard Time" refers to their equivalent of America/Indianapolis] Anyway, they don't do abbreviations. Even the MSVCRT _tzname variable uses the full name when the timezone comes from the system settings (though it will use an abbreviation when one is present in the posix-style TZ environment variable, of course)
