Automatic time zone translation is moronic if you don’t indicate that automatic translation has happened before displaying it to the user.

Also, assuming that the time zone set on the client machine is the same that the reader expects is usually true, but not always.

There’s a reason most technical or “professional” communication of time zones happens in UTC, and the conversion is left up to the reader.
