Yep, VBA had localized keywords. The standard functions still were named in English though, so the weirdness didn't even buy significant localization. Almost 20 years ago I wrote some Excel macros on an even then ancient Windows 3.1 computer with German Excel. I tried for Hungarian notation (as I said, almost 20 years ago) and used d for date. So the end date of some range was dEnde. D is also the first letter of Datei, which is German for file. So when I brought the Document to the boss's newer computer the program got translated but all the variables still had German names except for dEnde, which turned into EOF.
