Computerworld - Microsoft confirmed today that a security update for its Excel spreadsheet had turned English text in an important Windows tool into Chinese.
The admission was the second in the past two days from Microsoft's Office team of a gaffe involving a recent security update.
Friday's announcement involved the seven-patch update Microsoft shipped on Tuesday for Excel. "We have received reports from some of our Excel 2003 and Excel 2002 customers that after installing update KB978471 or KB978474, they are seeing non-English text in the 'Add or Remove Programs' tool (Win[dows] XP) or the 'Programs and Features' --> 'Installed Updates' view (Vista, Win[dows] 7)," Microsoft said in an entry published early today on the "Office Sustained Engineering" blog.
The two updates Microsoft referenced, KB978471 and KB978474, were the patch collections for Excel 2002 and Excel 2003, respectively.
According to Microsoft, the patches are displayed in "Add or Remove Programs" in simplified Chinese rather than the intended English. "If English text ... is a requirement, there is a two-part workaround available," said Microsoft as it told users to first uninstall Tuesday's Excel update, then download and install a revamped version.
