        Java Enhancement Request

         Name: Localized time zone display names
         Priority: High
         Submitted On: 2/17/98
         Contact: Alan Liu, IBM JTC

        Background

        Currently, the JDK only contains English display names for time zone objects. Other systems such as Windows 95/NT provide localized names
        for time zones. The JDK should contain localized time zone names, at the very least for the time zones in common usage in each locale.

        Note that this API change request is not related to the request for a getDisplayName() method in TimeZone. Even without an exposed API,
        users still see display names for time zones when they use SimpleDateFormat.format().

        Proposed API

        None. This is a resource data change only.

        Implementation

        Simple, once the data is obtained.

        Risk assessment

        Minimal risk.

        SQE (product testing) impact

        Little or no testing impact; some unit tests may be required to prove correct display name localization.

        JCK (compatibility testing) impact

        Little or no testing impact; some unit tests may be required to prove correct display name localization.

        Doc impact

        None.
