Ok, looking some more at the code that I've copied from the datetime
panel so far, I need

cc-timezone-map.h/c
tz.h/c
set-timezone.h/c

None of these seem to have any translations, but the timezone map
widget (obviously) needs all the map images in
/usr/shate/gnome-control-center/ui/datetime, and tz.c reads
/usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab and
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/datetime/backward.

set-timezone is a totally unnamespaced ad hoc wrapper around the g-s-d
system bus service for setting date/time. Using dbus-glib. We are
probably better off leaving that out of any library we come up with,
and instead use gdbus-codegen.
