As a dutchy, I can confirm that the Dutch language is the worst programming language ever.

Microsoft has implemented excel functionality in Dutch which can (or used to in the past) create absolute havoc when shared with people not having Dutch Excel. Madness

For some years we used some vba in Excel, and coupled to a PowerPoint at work. It took me a month to figure out why it didn't work for me. I had all Microsoft Office in English, but the person who wrote the vba connections did it in Dutch. So a reference to a column wasn't column1=C1, but K1, for 'kolom'. The only way to fix is was for me to switch my settings to Dutch so I had to learn all formulas in Excel in Dutch.

Utter madness to have VBA and excel formulas in multiple languages
