How to translate timezone full names to tz abbreviations?

Question

In a Rails 3.x app I need to display time zone abbreviations (EST, PST, CST, etc.) rather than the full time zone name. I've seen a number of discussions that seem to address the issue, but in overly verbose manners.

Is there a gem or a very concise method to handle this that could be used to map them properly?

Answer 1

For the current time zone:

Time.zone.now.strftime('%Z')

Or for a list of time zones:

ActiveSupport::TimeZone.us_zones.map do |zone|
  Time.now.in_time_zone(zone).strftime('%Z')
end

It works, but it still seems like there should be a better way...

Answer 2

I looked all over for this answer, and I finally found what I was looking for. I'm leaving the answer here so others might not have to look nearly as long and hard as I had to.

If you have access to ActiveSupport and dealing with TimeZone objects like this:

timezone = ActiveSupport::TimeZone.all[44]

then you can get to the abbreviation this way:

timezone.tzinfo.current_period.abbreviation

Answer 3

Time.now.zone
# => "UTC"

To use the default Timezone (if set) you can use:

Time.zone.now.zone
# => "CDT"

More info on that: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Time.html#method-c-zone-3D

Answer 4

Well, if you let your users choose their own timezone, you can render the timezone abbreviation as part of the datetime format. Try something like this in you appliction_helper.rb, then use it in a view to format a datetime object:

def format_datetime(datetime)
  datetime.strftime "%-d %b %Y, %H:%M %Z"
end

Update

If you're doing geolocation based on the users IP address, then you can do a timezone lookup based on that location. This question has actually been asked before but with regard to the latitude/longitude rather than the name of the timezone given.

Have a read of this one: Timezone lookup from latitude longitude

Answer 5

Using the tzinfo gem, here's a way to obtain a mapping of time zone identifiers and their abbreviation:

TZInfo::TimezoneProxy.all.each_with_object({}) {|tz, obj|
  obj[tz.identifier] = tz.strftime("%Z")
}

The result hash contains 594 elements:
