        Description

        The spec for TimeZone.getDisplayName(...) says: "If the display name is not available for the locale, then this method returns a string in the normalized custom ID format."
        In fact the methods return TimeZone.getDisplayName(Locale.ENGLISH) for unavailable locales.
