Yes, I also hate it!

The Italian version of Excel had the brilliant idea of translating the MID() function into STRINGA.ESTRAI(), which means "extract string".

Seriously, what the fuck.

The localisation of office software functions is atrocious in all languages. They should have defaulted to Volapuk, so that at least we could all suffer together.
