Wrong spelling of timezone #781

Closed KingR1 closed 4 years ago

KingR1 commented 5 years ago

In the timezones is present next one : Europe/Kiev, which isn't totally correct. Better will be Kyiv. Can you fix this? Thanks.

KyivNotKiev

Here is Official guidance on the correct spelling and usage of Ukrainian place names from the Ukrainian government: https://mfa.gov.ua/en/page/open/id/5418

But looks like the TZ data source is from the "Time zone database". And here is the answer from contributor: https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/b2eede3d1b62c43d0121dd2f6e790b97f29da7b7

@KingR1 moment-timezone is just a JavaScript library that extracts information from IANA database, and in the IANA database it's still named Europe/Kiev.

Could alias Europe/Kyiv|Europe/Kiev be added into the lib? @KingR1 @bodia-uz btw I am using alias as workaround for now.

bodia-uz commented 4 years ago

@zuker Here is discussion about alias: https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/b2eede3d1b62c43d0121dd2f6e790b97f29da7b7

Long story short: they don't want to add an alias

Damn, it is still not right in May 2022.

The rename has been done in the IANA source (see commit) and will be in the next release of the database. Then it can be brought into Moment Timezone.
