I love when software takes the first locale-related environment variable / registry key / file they can find and decide OKAY LET'S SHOW OUR UI IN THIS LANGUAGE

like.. no? region != display language != input language != input method != datetime format != etc.

lhaig,

@fasterthanlime so much this !!!!

Living in another country where the first language is not the same as what you want your UI to be. I experience this every day.

If you use Amazon prime no matter what you set your account language too the content is always only provided in the local language.

It frustrates me so much

@fasterthanlime Looking in the receipt to see whether you paid $14.99, £12.95 or 15€ for the software so I can pick American English, British English or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_English for the UI

@muvlon @fasterthanlime Damn that is amazing. I did not knew that there's a european dialect of English. Although you could say I'm guilty with a few mistakes mentioned there.
