Description Borgx 2006-05-05 01:08:23 UTC 
Currently the only way to change time zone description to local language, is by
changing the code itself. 
for ex:
 $d = $wgContLang->timeanddate( date( 'YmdHis' ), false, false) .
      ' (' . date( 'T' ) . ')';
 if ( isset( $wgLocaltimezone ) ) {
    putenv( 'TZ='.$oldtz );
 }

to:

 $d = $wgContLang->timeanddate( date( 'YmdHis' ), false, false) .
      ' (some local timezone)';
 if ( isset( $wgLocaltimezone ) ) {
    putenv( 'TZ='.$oldtz );
 }

which, we must redoing this for each mediawiki upgrades.

Please provide $wg variable for this for customization through localsettings.php
Thanks

Target of enhancement request is 1.6.x and 1.7 (1.6 because 1.7 is long way from
being released).

We don't add new stuff to release branches unless our lead developer gives us
his blessing. Some of us were reminded of this the hard way.
