+1000. This is ridiculous. Couldn't they at least make this optional so you'd be able to switch this off somewhere in the configuration dialog, registry or command line? I hate localized apps altogether (who even needs localized Visual Studio srsly? I can't believe anybody can be competent in a .Net programming language and relevant frameworks and practices without being able to read English) but localizning some apps makes some sense for some people, nevertheless localizing functions feels beyond reason. I feel thankful they didn't localize C# and command line commands :-)


> who even needs localized Visual Studio srsly?

What's not to like on Oracle's localized error messages that you can't google because all the documentation is in English?

Even more because some on my language omit useless words like the equivalents of "not" or "can't".


Sounds like this is being done on purpose to sell more support services and to hinder international migration of specialists.
