Best example is IBM. It's only possible to install the DB2 client in your native Language (may be German) on Windows. The manual's are in English. So, for example a trigger is a Auslöser - very strange. May be they should translate the SQL Language to. Would be a little bit easier and I can start with computing from scratch again.
Another nice thing is Excel. You use German for the table and English for VB programing. For example: table: zeichen() == VB char().
On the other hand, the only population who dubbed/translate every movie/thing into German, are the German's. Most others (for example Scandinavia, Netherland) use the original Language (mostly English) with subtitles.
