3-4 you mean, e.g. CEST.

I had only a partial success. I used GTK/GLib time zone functions. The
abbreviation of the zone name is the thing. Unfortunately it works
poorly under Windows, and Windows updates tend to break time zone
settings [*] I needed to plant various fallback to deduce the zone from
UTC offset.
Anyway, Ada bindings are here:

* I believe it was the case why one could not log into Origin account
for a couple of days not so long ago. Their server verified the time
zone and blocked access because Windows reported garbage.
