Good thing you missed one of Microsoft's silliest decisions ever, then, 
which was what they did with WordBasic (i.e. before Office 97).

They actually thought it would be a clever idea to translate the entire 
language(!): keywords, operators, standard library functions, the whole 
thing.  So if you had a document created in a US version and printed out 
the macro source, then repeated that step in a German version of Word, 
the printout would be totally different ... only commented-out code 
would still look the same, because it didn't undergo auto-translation.
