Wanna know something fun about Office?
The keyboard shortcuts are localized.
YES, REALLY.
If you press Ctrl+S when running in Portuguese, it doesn't save, it underlines the word instead (Because the word for it is "Sublinhar").
Whoever is responsible for this decision won't die, when their time comes they'll be swallowed alive by the earth and welcomed into the 10th circle of hell, created for them exclusively.
The 11th circle is reserved for he who decided to localize the Excel Formula Functions too.
Many such wacky cases in Windows. Like where you install your software ("Program Files") is localized too.
It's only half localized though, the actual path is still called program files. It just displays the localized name. Which is somehow even worse.
And if you type in the address bar it'll suggest the localized version and then give you an error because it doesn't exist. Drives me bananas.
I haven't used a localized version of Windows so I don't know for sure, but sources I can find says it's actually different in different languages: https://www.samlogic.net/articles/program-files-folder-different-languages.htm
