When I was young my dad's computer had Office with a localized version of VBA, in Dutch. If I'm correct it was Office 95. I've tried to use it for a while but it was horrible; even as a non-native English speaker I couldn't get used to the translated statements and kept mistakenly typing their English counterparts.
Here's what it looked like. If regular Visual Basic looked like this:
IF x == 1 THEN
'...
ELSE
'...
END IF
the Dutch version would be:
INDIEN x == 1 DAN
'...
ANDERS
'...
EINDE INDIEN
Odd thing that 'indien' is a rather formal and slightly archaic version of the (much shorter) equivalent 'als'. I don't even remember how FOR, WHILE, and all the other statements were translated.
