Comment 3 for bug 1001340

Jürgen,
 I do not have localized Windows atm. Would it be possible for you to compile and run this program and paste the results?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
  TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION tzi;
  GetTimeZoneInformation(&tzi);
  wprintf(L"%s\n", tzi.StandardName);
  wprintf(L"%s\n", tzi.DaylightName);
  return 0;
}

It does not return 3 letter abbreviation for me, but instead

W. Europe Standard Time
W. Europe Daylight Time

I consider this ok, since the doc explicitely states that the result can be OS-dependent. However I'd rather avoid non-ASCIIs and stay English . So, I'm basically wondering if localized Windows would return localized results.
