Welcome to the losing side, I guess. At least an ancient egyptian would enjoy the fact that we've regressed to using hieroglyphs instead of proper written words in our menu systems.
"Press the hamburger menu in the upper corner" "the what now?" "Press the three horizontal lines in the upper corner and then look for the cogwheel" compared to "Press "File" in the upper corner and then choose "Settings"".
If making design and aesthetics easier in multiple languages means regressing to hieroglyphs that change meaning depending on context, then I rather have a menu that grows a bit unseemly when using a language with longer words than English.
