Some go as far as translating shortcuts, which I dislike even more. In Spanish Windows, copy is CTRL + C (copiar), but paste is... CTRL + P (pegar)

Reminds me of a US tap in Mexico I saw once - the installer obviously decided C must be for caliente which meant the H should be hielo.

That's great. To be fair, caliente and helado doesn't seem a very unreasonable interpretation if you're installing in a place where people don't speak English
