Don’t forget the keyboard shortcuts. Office products would change shortcuts according to the language, so it would be more mnemonic. Ctrl-F for find and Ctrl-B for bold would be reassigned to whatever initials that language had. Fun! /s
Not even the right initials. Most of the actions’ names had the same few initials so they had to find synonyms to use the shortcut for. Search was Ctrl+L (from Locate). In other cases they just used whatever letter was next on the keyboard to the initial that was already in use.
Man I’m glad Dutch keyboards are just US international. So all the shortcuts are just the same as the English version. So I never had to unlearn localized shortcuts.
Oh shit, I’d never get anything done, as I’d imagine my lovely friend’s accent reading this shit out.
Selecione * de tbl_minha-tabela onde nome não é nulo
Hahaha! I love it!
That reminds me, I had to modify a program written in VB once. The guy who created it wrote every table, every column, every view in Portuguese, WITH ACCENTS! It works, we simply have to put everything between brackets, but it doesn’t add anything to clarity. It looks awful and seems pedantic.
I worked with one of the authors of the Brazilian SQL. It was exactly what it looks, every reserved word translated to Brazilian Portuguese.
Oh god. I still have nightmares about that time I had excel formulas in Portuguese, I refuse to think about SQL.
