Re: "usable" screen captures

I don't think you'll get too much argument there (although ...).

Isn't it funny that the callouts are translated, but the program is
still in the original language. I wonder how much harder that makes it
to learn a program. A bit like trying to figure out how to use an
alien artifact/machine.

Regards,
