Ah yes. The two times I had to use Microsoft documentation for something, it boiled down to:

a) we've detected that your browser is set to Kazakh. Please enjoy our automatic translation of technical documentation to Kazakh. You want English? Haha that's a hidden option

b) the field "WSFaddr" contains the WSF address. Its type is "string"

Because of the above, I'll never ever use Azure again

I've always believes that MS has bad docs for azure (they can be quite good for other subjects) because they charge for support

Did you solve (a)? I found the “globe” button but have to press it for every single page which gets tedious.

Find the locale string somewhere in the URL and change it to something like en_US.

Alternatively, stop using Microsoft products. Tell your manager that their poor documentation incurs direct cost because instead of being productive, you spend your day clicking globe buttons.

I also had much trouble with this. I solved it with an extension called "FFS MSDN in English"
