- vimslayer 6y agoAre you following an Excel guide that's written in English but can't use the formulas because your own computer is set to use some other language? Or did you inherit some Excel sheets to maintain that are not written in English? No problem! Just install Excel Functions Translator [1] and say Auf Wiedersehen to all you localization worries! /s [1]: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/excel-functions-translator-f262d0c0-991c-485b-89b6-32cc8d326889 https://support.office.com/en-us/article/excel-functions-tra...
- netsharc 6y agoThere is an Excel "German" dictionary (probably others too), but when you Google "Excel German dictionary" Google shows "übertreffen". Which is the German word for "to excel"...
- marcosdumay 6y agoIt's not only names that are localized, but also file formats. If you export a CSV in an English speaking locale, you won't be able to use it in a Latin one.
- Tagbert 6y agothat’s because you should be choosing UTF-8 as the export encoding. Don’t depend on default.
- aroberge 6y agoThe comma is used as a decimal separator in many countries which makes it impossible to use csv files without special import rules; nothing to do with using utf-8.
- brazzy 6y agoCSV is not so much localized as underspecified.
