The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office
The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office
So the names of the options literally translate to:
Row Above
Row insert beneath
Colums Left
Insert Column Right
Not only are they named inconsistently and only partially translated. The capitalization is also seemingly random.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is why even though English is my second language I will set software to be in English, I know any translations into my primary language will use weird and uncommon phrases (also makes debugging harder)
Also makes searching for answers to problems easier.
Yeah that's partly what I meant by debugging
This even works for keyboards. Many shortcuts that use the /-key for example didn’t work before I started to use qwerty instead of localized keyboards.
I remember switching from German QWERTZ to US QWERTY, as a dev, and suddenly putting all these brackets became so much easier and it all made sense. On German layout you need Alt Gr. A lot (which is Alt + CTRL)
Commenting lines works out of the box on qwerty, whaat . And for the Umlauts i have it set to using the dead key layout because it is tkl and has no right alt key. And I didn’t know that you could emulate alt gr with alt+space. Thanks!
I’m on Mac so for umlaut I can just hold the vocal and pick the umlaut version of it. Similar to mobile devices . But usually I just type oe or ae etc.
I use Macos/linux at home and win at work. And all with the same keyboard, because it has a dedicated macOS and win/normal mode. And yeah, the us intl. keyboard works across win/Linux, but I dislike having the hyphens key as a dead key so i only really use it at work where I can’t skip umlauts. In private I don’t really need them and should the day come I’ll copy them from ddg or something.
Same. Also I'm given the exact intended message, rather than some filtered version.
I do the same. I get unreasonably annoyed by the horrible translations. I'd rather just have the original bad English.
