It's only localised in the file explorer. The actual folder name is always Program Files.

Only since vista, it used to be localized.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 weeks ago

what about placeholders/variables like %localappdata%, %windir%, %programfiles%?

[-] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago

I can only assume these always existed, otherwise it would have been a nightmare for everyone.

Excel used to have, and I think it still has, localised function names.

Makes it a nightmare to look up stuff on the Internet.

the entirety of office has localised hotkeys. whaddayamean ^F is "search"? it's for fat text!

[-] Cavemanfreak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Still does. Commas or semicolons as separators in functions differ at least. It fucking sucks.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 4 weeks ago

nope, that's an NT thing
