Description

Hi,

The correct spelling of the capital of Ukraine is:
Kyiv (the correct pronunciation is 'Ky-yiv' as opposed to the more common used, but incorrect Ki-yev)

It is incorrectly spelled 'Kiev' in the Time Zone / Date/Time section, then used throughout a site where the Date/Time field is used.

I tried using the i18 Translation feature to fix it on my local Tiki, but it doesn't work.

Thanks,
Mike

p.s. the spelling 'Kiev' is derived from the Russian language pronunciation and spelling of the city, however, Kyiv it is not a Russian city, and the language in Ukraine is Ukrainian, not Russian.

I have bad news for Ukrainian people: The name of the Ukrainian capital is not "Kiev" just in russian but also in English (and in French, but that's irrelevant).
That's why it's spelled that way in :

  • /usr/share/zoneinfo/tzdata.zi
  • /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab
  • /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone1970.tab
  • vendor_bundled/vendor/sabre/vobject/lib/timezonedata/windowszones.php

Which contain the international names of timezones in English and none of which are Tiki files.

I agree that the topic is obviously sensitive and requires some fix on Ukrainian websites but the qualification of the issue is not « wrong spelling » but « lack of localization capabilities for timezones in Tiki ».
So, I'd say the fix would be add all these strings in language.php?
