    Oh god. I still have nightmares about that time I had excel formulas in Portuguese, I refuse to think about SQL.

      Don’t forget the keyboard shortcuts. Office products would change shortcuts according to the language, so it would be more mnemonic. Ctrl-F for find and Ctrl-B for bold would be reassigned to whatever initials that language had. Fun! /s

        Man I’m glad Dutch keyboards are just US international. So all the shortcuts are just the same as the English version. So I never had to unlearn localized shortcuts.

        Not even the right initials. Most of the actions’ names had the same few initials so they had to find synonyms to use the shortcut for. Search was Ctrl+L (from Locate). In other cases they just used whatever letter was next on the keyboard to the initial that was already in use.
