Microsoftscored September 2026

Microsoft has long embraced global consistency across its many product sites and localization is generally good. The company was an early leader in using machine translation to unlock help content in multiple languages, which it still does today. It also now offers an AI shopping assistant which also handled multiple languages. Global navigation remains buried in the footer (though the globe icon is a positive).
