Seriously, fuck Excel for this. I always hate to look up function names in German.
- 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.
  
  It should have been Latin so at least you could feel like a magician or something
  
  I thought of Latin, but then some people actually speak it, so they'd have an unfair advantage.
  
  I would happily pull out my old dictionary and grammar books, for sure!
