Translated timezones according to CLDR

gem install ruby-cldr-timezones

require 'cldr/timezones'

To get a basic subset of translations you can simply pass the locale.

Cldr::Timezones will return a hash with the following format {timezone_identifier => "(GMT Offset) timezone_name_translated"}

Cldr::Timezones.list(:es) # {"Europe/Moscow" => "(GMT+04:00) Moscú"}
Cldr::Timezones.list(:ja) #	{"America/Cordoba" => "（GMT-09:00）モスクワ"}

There is also support for fallback.

Cldr::Timezones.list(:"es-MX") # {"Europe/Moscow" => "(GMT+04:00) Moscú"}

If you want to retrieve the full set of timezones (currently 581) you can simply pass the option :full

Cldr::Timezones.list(:ja, :full) #To get the full list of timezones

If you want to get the list of supported languages

Cldr::Timezones.supported_locales # ["aa", "aa-DJ", "aa-ER", "aa-ET",...."zh-Hant-TW", "zu", "zu-ZA"]

• Handle BIDI timezones

  Cldr::Timezones.list(:ar) # {"America/Cordoba" => "0}جرينتش} كوردوبا"}

• Handle method raw which will return translated name, offset and GMT translation and format

  Cldr::Timezones.raw(:ja) # {"America/Cordoba" => ["コルドバ", "+08:00", "GMT"]}
