Hi Naoto

Thank you for the quick response! We will file a ticket later today.

Shall we make an effort on fixing and translating the strings, or you prefer to take care of it at Oracle?

Hi Letu,

Please file a JBS issue for this (component: core-libs, subcomponent:
java.util:i18n).

An entry for TRT need to be added to this file, and assign to both "Europe/Istanbul" and "Asian/Istanbul". This also need to be updated for other locales. I can create a JBS issue for this, but I am not sure whether we should fix this bug, or there is an existing procedure for this kind of bug which requires language translation.
