So obnoxious, although apparently in newer versions you can modify what language you want.
I remember seeing the dictionary to translate between German and English function names[1], one time I googled for "Excel German translation" and Google proudly showed the Translate interace pre-filled with "English: excel / German: übertreffen"

- arp242 3y agoThe feature itself isn't that crazy – it's even a good thing, especially considering that Excel (and to lesser degree, VBA) were designed for ordinary people and that in the 80s/90s English was less common than it is today. Where it went wrong is that as soon as you choose a language you were stuck with that. It should have been a display option.
