English UK display language - no weird auto-translate. What gives?
For those of you a little confused about what a postcode is, it's effectively the same as a US zip code; a way of distilling a postal address down to but a few characters. Hence why some rogue auto-translate function in Windows 11 is occasionally switching 'zip' to 'postcode' in the UK's Windows menus.
This sounds like one of those instances where Microsoft is doing some sort of A/B testing, punting out some little feature onto a bunch of systems and not others. Though, that's kinda the point of the Insider preview builds, which I've not got running on any of my rigs at the moment. Don't get me started on the Dutch translations we get often - On Xbox they have an instances where 'free space' is translated to 'gratis ruimte'. Which literally translates to 'a room / space which you don't have to pay for'.It's not just UK translations Windows has problems with either. Apparently there's a whole lot of fun to be had if you're running the OS from Spain and Holland, too.
