    Description

      QDateTime::timeZoneAbbreviation() and QTimeZone::abbreviation() make no attempt at localization. They end up using the C locale (in effect) for UTC and UTC-offset time representations but a system-supplied (hence typically the system locale's form of) the names and abbreviations for local time or a time zone. When QLocale::toString() is given a format that includes the time zone, it thus fails to correctly reflect the locale that was asked to represent it.
