Marcus,
ISO3166 and ISO639 and timezones are three complete different things.
And he asked for timezones as he wrote in his reply.
We already offer multiple pre translated data sets but it's impossible to
have 100% complete data for all 128 available languages.
This is the reason why we have integrated CLDR and have not done this data
collection ourself.

You are speaking of cities (which have nothing to do with timezones).
I think this is what he is after - it's not about the time zones
themselves, but about their naming and presentation, however, it is a
very fixed and predictable data set with the same index in all languages,
so looking for a set of translations seems reasonable to me - indirection
through a generic list of cities seems like a bad idea when the purpose
is so specific. I thought of setting up a sourceforge project to gather
translation sets like that after I had such a hard time finding ISO 3166
and 639 translations, when they are things that just about any translated
app will need.
the question was related to timezones and not to country names.
ZF offers country name translation per default for all languages.
I realise that, I was merely suggesting that there might be translations
for other data sets on there too.
