Likewise, a time zone's short name will differ depending on language, as with WET (Western European Time, UTC+0), //also// known as WEZ (Westeuropäische Zeit) in German, HEO (Heure d'​Europe occidentale) in French, ZEČ (Západoevropský čas) in Czech, and ΏΔΕ (Ώρα Δυτικής Ευρώπης) in Greek. Thus the short names' deprecated status.
