That's the reason I always use the English version of everything. What I find most ridiculous is when hotkeys get translated, ex. Ctrl+S is Underline in Spanish

- Pxtl 13y agoIt never occurred to me that other languages would have different hot-keys. Intuitively it makes sense, but damn I imagine a lot of programs don't do it so it must be a horribly inconsistent experience (I get angry when a program fails to support something like CTRL-W to close windows or CTRL-A for select all or the inconsistency between some using ctrl-shift-Z or ctrl-Y for redo). I guess that's the advantage to the old Word Perfect approach of function-keys for everything (provided you have one of those nifty overlays that show you all the key-commands).
- d--b 13y agooh the worst part is the number formatting. In French, for instance '.' and ',' are reversed. Excel in French then thinks 10,000 is 10. So Value("10,000") is different from Valeur("10,000"). Of course strings do not get translated when changing locale...
