Any chance to get this for comm-central (1.0b10 or whatever it will be called) before the next merge? I saw the first complaints coming up, e.g. due to the wrong timezone information for Russia.

I would provide a patch but I don't know how to create one on Windows platform.

We should get this in soon. We could also consider offering the timezone extension, especially for russian users (and maybe also with the hack for people using Asia/Jerusalem).

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Target Milestone: --- → 1.3
Backported to comm-aurora changeset 478b84124a09.
Target Milestone: 1.3 → 1.2
I think it makes sense to take this for comm-beta, since we want to get timezones out to users asap.

Backported to releases/comm-beta changeset aa1fe834aea3
Target Milestone: 1.2 → 1.1
Philipp, did you forget that aurora and beta should be string-frozen?
Rimas, in bug 406579 I added the timezone properties to the filter list. This patch will go to comm-beta too. Is this sufficient or will it cause red strings?
Philipp, what will happen when a timezone name is not localized?

In any case, you should probably send a note to m.d.l10n. compare-locales told me there are missing strings in Calendar/Aurora, and it will show same to others.
I would hope that the strings are merged from en-US. I'll ask Pike what can be best be done about it since we'll likely want to provide timezone updates more often than releases. If there is no immediate solution I'm happy to back it out and/or post to dev.l10n.
I've taken the liberty to back this patch out on comm-beta in changeset f9005c292fab. I hope we find a good solution to this soon, see:
