French fucking Excel formulas is an abomination and needs to die.

Microsoft should be charged with war crimes for deciding to localize both Formulas AND keyboard shortcuts across the Office Suite.

THIS SO MUCH THIS, LOCALIZED SHORTCUTS ARE PAINFUL, I CAN NOT FIND WAYS TO FULLY EXPRESS MY HATRED FOR THEM AS SOMEONE WHO HAD TO USE OFFICIE 365 IN PORTUGUESE also btw mnemonic shortcuts were a mistake

I'm am immigrant in Brazil and have to deal with Portuguese excel almost everyday. At least I know my Python and only use excel to do simple things.

Edit: all my scripts end with pd.to_excel() tho

Python-Python or Portugol?

Norwegian as well. It's basically impossible to find the documentation. Translation has somehow changed the order of words, som direct translation of formulaes is not helpful for searches either.

I hear the French usually program in French as well. I do not want to ever work in France.

Not true, but don't let me change your mind!

Nah, just that WinDev thing.
On the plus side we have actual holidays and good luck bothering me outside of hours, haha!

I mean we have that here in Estonia too :P

Haha, fair enough! I'm glad you do!
If you believed the stereotypes, you'd think we're the only ones, sometimes :)

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago

I think that's mostly an American stereotype, I believe Estonia and France and several other European countries get roughly the same amount of paid holidays as well as paid time off. Though apparently you guys also have a 35 hour work week, which I'm jealous of!

The French are doing what??

I mean how?
Specifically, I need to understand it for scientific reasons.

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

It's Microsoft. For some insane reason, excel formulas are localized. E.g. German Excel uses "SUMME()" instead of "SUM()".

It's insanely annoying because it sport of makes it more difficult to ask for help (I.e. only Germans might know what SVERWEIS does). And if you manage to find a solution in English, you need to translate it.
