But say you're in Germany. If you've previously told ROS that you speak German, wouldn't it make sense to default to whatever timezone Germany is in? (Windows may already do this, I don't know)
While it makes sense, windows does not already do this.
I don't think that's a valid assumption. Many of us choose French as default language, but we wouldn't want to be placed in the France timezone. Of course, Windows does ask for "Location", and it should at least use that for a timezone guess, but the language selection shouldn't be a factory, imo. Unless you want to get into bloated code such as if (Location == CANADA && Language == FR) Timezone = Quebec.
Then again, choosing Seattle isn't better either. I would just start with GMT as default. Makes everyone happy.

As I also live in Montreal, I can't believe I didn't think about that. Having ROS select a default timezone based on location also would not work, even your example based on location and language, for example, there are a large number of French speaking people living in Alberta. Perhaps starting with GMT would be the best for a default.
