Localization for for timezone names used in Moment Timezone

Moment Timezone Names Translations

This repository provides translation files for timezone names. It should be mostly used in conjuction with Moment Timezone, as this repository provides a helper function (moment.tz.localizedNames()) that supplants a Moment Timezone function (moment.tz.names()).

Usage

Load the language file of your choice from /locales and call moment.tz.localizedNames(). This will return an array of timezone names as below:

{"value":"Africa/Abidjan","name":"أبيدجان","id":"Africa/Abidjan"},
{"value":"Africa/Accra","name":"أكرا","id":"Africa/Accra"},
{"value":"Africa/Addis_Ababa","name":"أديس أبابا","id":"Africa/Addis_Ababa"},
...
{"value":"Pacific/Wallis","name":"واليس","id":"Pacific/Wallis"}

Adding more translations

If you would like to add a missing translation, you can run:

ruby pull-translations.rb --language=ar

where ar is the language code in the Unicode CLDR source: https://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/main/ar.xml.

Known limitations

The translations provided by Unicode CLDR do not correspond entirely with the list of timezones used by Moment Timezone.
