Only since vista, it used to be localized.

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

[-] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days 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.

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

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

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 5 days ago
