even though the CLDR appears to have MESZ in common/main/de.xml; as I remember, Apple haven't modified the tzcode-derived *BSD code for handling time zones in the UNIX API, so the "date" command doesn't give you translated abbreviations - some of the Core Foundation or Cocoa frameworks might have APIs that will.
Yup. This is probably because no one has felt sufficiently strongly to contribute code to glibc/*BSD or raised enough of a stink with a closed-source vendor :) jch
