Are instance names for system performance counters localized?

According to this support KB only the objects and counters have friendly names: However, instances do not have a user friendly name in each language So this leads me to believe that instance names for a given counter are obtained either dynamically (e.g. ProcessId for a process) or statically (e.g. Hard-coded). Of course there is nothing stopping somebody from hard-coding "_Total" in an English build and something else in a German build, though it seems the common practice is to keep the language stuff confined to the registry and deal with the objects and counters by index and the instances by dynamic or static names. I think Microsoft consistently uses "_Total" as I've seen it on a few foreign language installs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
