Note that, due to our using stable CLDR timezone IDs, we do not change the ID
for an existing timezone when the name of a region or subdivision changes. The
library returns the *ID*, which you may use to get the localised name from CLDR.
See CLDR's [documentation for timezone
translations](http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/timezones). You can also
browse [different languages'
names](http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/verify/zones/index.html); for
example, the `Asia/Calcutta` timezone identifier has English names
`Kolkata Time` and `India Standard Time`, and the [English
file](http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/verify/zones/en.html) links to
a [view](http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/en/SAsia/2dac3ef061238996) with
other regions having the same timezone (including those with different IDs).
