It was a well-known story within Microsoft.

Also, some Latin Americans got offended because the Spanish-language thesaurus in Word gave "savages" as a synonym for "Indians". Also, the Taiwanese localizers of Office sneaked in a message about "Communist bandits" into the Chinese-language version.

А еще было очень смешно когда к нам в Тель-Авив прислали ивритскую версию VB с manual по-арабски. Смешно было нам, потому что в Дубай пришла, стало быть, посылка с manual на иврите.
