OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

The geo location loc can be specified by a (RefLink[GeoPosition, paclet:ref/GeoPosition]) object or by giving an appropriate (RefLink[Entity, paclet:ref/Entity]) object.

(RefLink[LocalTimeZone, paclet:ref/LocalTimeZone]) by default returns a time zone (RefLink[Entity, paclet:ref/Entity]).

Possible properties include:

OpenersExampleSection0(Spacer1)Basic Examples  (3)

Get the current local time zone entity:

LocalTimeZone[]

Get the local time zone for London on different dates:

LocalTimeZone[LinguisticAssistant,#, "NumericOffset"]&/@{DateObject[{2014,2,1}],DateObject[{2014,5,1}]}

Get the current time zone offset for Oslo as a (RefLink[Quantity, paclet:ref/Quantity]):

LocalTimeZone[LinguisticAssistant,Now,"Offset"]

OpenersExampleSection1(Spacer1)Scope  (2)

For extended regions, a location of significance is automatically selected (typically a capital city):

LocalTimeZone[LinguisticAssistant]

LocalTimeZone[LinguisticAssistant]

Location specifications can be a (RefLink[GeoPosition, paclet:ref/GeoPosition]) or (RefLink[Entity, paclet:ref/Entity]):

LocalTimeZone[$GeoLocation]

LocalTimeZone[LinguisticAssistant]
