Bug Description

During Ubuntu install (here KDE, language german), in the time zone setting choose "Österreich" as country. the only possible time zone then is "Österreich Zeit" which is not really good. Either take "Österreichische Zeit" (IMHO better), or "Österreich-Zeit" (IMHO not good neither). Same goes for "Deutschland Zeit", "Liechtenstein Zeit", "Belgien Zeit", "Schweiz Zeit" and others - IMHO all of the German spoken language countries. There should not be any space between the country and "Zeit", the country should be an "adjective" (?) like "Liechtensteiner Zeit".
I guess this is done by a trnslation generic like "%s time" -> "%s Zeit" - In German this is not possible this way, to be exact.
So as possible solution I suggest "%s time" -> "Zeit in %s" if "s is a country, as Quick-and-dirty solution.

Best way would be "Österreichische Zeit", "Belgische Zeit", "Liechtensteiner Zeit", "Büsinger Zeit" etc. which needs some inflection.
