MS Teams / Nur-Sultan (Astana, Kazakhstan) timezone and city name isn’t up to date
Hello,
I have some problems in both Teams for Business and Personal Teams
First of all, the city is called Astana, not Nur-Sultan (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/14/kazakhstan-to-change-name-of-capital-from-nur-sultan-back-to-astana).
Secondly, on December 7, 2023, the Kazakh Ministry of Trade and Integration proposed that Kazakhstan switch to a single time zone in 2024. Specifically, Kazakhstan would uniformly apply the fifth time zone (UTC+5) across its entire territory. On March 1, 2024, the cities of Astana, Almaty, and Shymkent, as well as the following regions, will turn back the local time by one hour: Abai, Akmola, Almaty, Zhambyl, Zhetisu, Karagandy, Kostanai, Pavlodar, North Kazakhstan, Turkistan, Ulytau, and East Kazakhstan (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/daylight-saving-time-time-zone/interim-guidance-for-kazakhstan-time-zone-changes-2024/ba-p/4048963).
Currently, the time zone for Astana is UTC+5, but in MS Teams, it still shows UTC+6.
Please address this issue.
Looking forward to your response
Best regards,
Nikita.
