When connecting to sql server, I have the hardcoded string "(local)". Is this a string I need to make available for localisation? ie, does (local) always work no matter the current language settings?

A:
Both (local) and . as shortcuts for your local server are not language dependent - they're the same for every language and culture - no translations necessary.

A:
Yes, it works in any locale.
In general, things like function names, connection strings, settings, parameters etc. are rarely localized.
The notable exception is Excel functions
In Russian Excel, I need to type in function names like ПРОМЕЖУТОЧНЫЕ.ИТОГИ instead of SUBTOTAL, constantly switch between Latin and Cyrillic (since the column names are still Latin) and I'm unable to copy and paste code developed for English Excel.

VBA for Excel is considered harmful

@edosoft: it's not VBA, it's cell functions. VBA is English even in Russian Edition.
