datetime - How do you translate the timezone abbreviation in PHP -

when using php homecoming timezone abbreviation either date('t') or strftime('%z') result not translate localized version of these abbreviations.

in french have been told next @ right translations:

edt == hae

est == hne

i have tried next code example:

<?php setlocale(lc_all, 'fr_fr'); echo strftime('%z'); echo date('t'); ?>

all attempts produce est/edt rather translated versions.

i same on mac , linux.

i inspected gettext mo file french, this:

/usr/local/bin/msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/fr/lc_messages/texinfo.mo

this shows translations things months , days. should translations if do:

echo strftime("%a %e %b %y\n"); // gives "vendredi 27 juin 2014"

but translation file not appear contain translations est, or edt - or in fact others looked for.

so guess reply these strings not translated in standard locale packages.
