Translatable Time zone short display name in Java

Right now the JDK doesn't provide internationalized short names for time zones. For instance, in the following class. public class TestTimeZone { public static void main(String[] args) { ZoneId zoneId = [login to view URL]("America/Detroit"); [login to view URL]("Full Display Name in French is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Short Display Name in French is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Full Display Name in Chinese is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Short Display Name in Chinese is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Full Display Name in German is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Short Display Name in German is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Full Display Name in UK is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Short Display Name in UK is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Full Display Name in Italian is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Short Display Name in Italian is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Full Display Name in Japanese is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); [login to view URL]("Short Display Name in Japanese is " + [login to view URL]([login to view URL], [login to view URL])); } } full names are internationalized but short names are not. One reason may be because short names are too short (abbreviated) to not have appropriate translations available in different languages. There is a relevant JDK bug logged at [login to view URL]:all-tabpanel and it looks like that is is probably not going to be fixed. My questions here, 1) Can an alternate library like joda time, icu4j or something similar can solve this. Apparently i tried joda time and icu4j but it doesn't seem to be doing the thing that i want. 2) Can I somehow update short names being used for different languages in resource files that are being used by JDK? In the end, I would need some way to automatically translate short name (abbreviation) for time zones. I will be needing sample code of whatever way proposed.
