Not record, just show. Naturally it makes sense to record a global time
timestamp, like GMT, but people still like to see a time displayed in
their local timezone, so the OP wants to know how to get it and then
convert GMT to local time, just for _displaying_ it to user. It's common
localization practise. Wikipedia for one does this.
