We could also install it only for non-English. I have no particular
opinion.

First of all, note that that is only displayed if the user breaks out of
the simplified time zone selector to the full list. The simplified time
zone selector uses gettext to internationalise the choices, but
currently no po file is constructed for that, so it cannot be
translated.
for line in $(grep -i "^$code$TAB" /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab); do
zone=$(echo "$line" | cut -d "$TAB" -f 3)
comment=$(echo "$line" | cut -d "$TAB" -f 4 | sed "s/, /; /g")
# Mangle the time zone for display.
if [ -z "$comment" ]; then
choice="$zone"
else
choice="$zone ($comment)"
fi
# This gettext is freaky, since the text is
# completly dynamic. To construct the po file entries
# for this, extract all the time zones and comments
# from zone.tab and mangle the same way it's done above.
choice=$(gettext "$choice")
echo "$choice$TAB$zone" >> "$ZONEMAPPING"
