Timezone Converter: BRT conversion is wrong

augusto-herrmann opened this issue · comments

Description

When querying for time zone conversions, the BRT time zone is considered as if it had daylight savings time. However, daylight savings time has been permanently abolished by a Decree in Brazil in 2019.

Steps to recreate

Search DuckDuckGo for any time zone conversion involving BRT. E.g. "12:00 CET to BRT". You get:

Screenshot 2022-01-18 at 14-27-24 12 00 CET to BRT at DuckDuckGo

As if BRT was equal to UTC-2, but it is actually UTC-3. So the results are one hour off.

It might be related to #4683, since it seems like it is a lack of time zone information maintenance issue (even though the CET zone used in DuckDuckGo seems to be correct at the time of this writing).
