Re: Zone Localizations

Now I understand. So you are suggesting that we prioritize getting the
zones that are in use in each country translated into that country's
language(s), then follow on with other zones. That's a good
suggestion.

the Olson data for the English city names (cleaned up a bit, e.g.
replacing underscores), so all of the Olson IDs will have zone
resources in en.txt. In the near-term, we will get those cities
translated for Group 1 (English, Japanese, German, Chinese
(simplified), Chinese (traditional), French, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese (Brazilian), Korean)."
