Classic move right here. Someone hardcoded the ternary operator display text directly into the UI instead of using proper i18n (internationalization) keys. So now users in Germany are staring at "Save" or "d" when the media is saved, and everyone's wondering what the hell "d" means in their language. Spoiler alert: it means nothing. The beauty of this is that some dev thought "we're only launching in English-speaking markets" and then three months later the PM announces expansion to 47 countries. Now you get to grep through thousands of files finding every hardcoded string while questioning your life choices. Pro tip: i18n isn't just for translation—it's for when you realize "d" made perfect sense at 2 AM but means absolutely nothing to anyone else, including your future self.
