Defining time zones by country and language

Time zones are based on the actual time zone where the Business Communications
Manager server is located. The Time Zone dropdown list on the initialization screen,
allows you to be very specific in choosing a compatible time zone. If your exact location is
not on the list, choose the one with the time zone closest to you. Note that some time zones
are individualized because they do not switch from Standard Time to Daylight Saving
Time. For example, this is the case for Saskatchewan.
The format of the time and date changes are based on the prime language of the region.
The following table provides a list of formats based on language or country.
