either tzselect and tzsetup use english language for names, instead
of local spelling (you could add parethesized english spelling, if you
want ...)
Anso tzsetup show cities, but show also "Malta" that is NOT a city (it
should show "La Valletta" )and this is definitively a bug !
Ideally i would like the setting i found in older unixes: it require to just
write the standad time offset from gmt and the rules for summer time
changes ... so absolutely language correct, and accomodating
occasional changes in summer time rules !
