Dutch version of Word 2010 translates \p references incorrectly

My Dutch version of Word 2010 does not properly translate relative cros
references. I am working on an English document and I want to use a
REF _Ref3240958 \p }

Language settings for the document are English (US). I have languag
tools such as English dictionaries available.

Yet, whatever I try, I only get 'onder' instead of 'below' in my text
Weirdly, when I select Dutch it becomes 'hieronder' (which is correct
and in German it becomes 'unten'.

Apparently there is a problem only with the English variant. Anyone kno
if this can be fixed

If you apply a flavor of English to the relevant text (both the
cross-referenced item and the cross-reference) the language should be
correct.

Well, that is what I tried. However, only with the English language
this does not translate, but uses the Dutch word 'onder'. This i
different from the word used when I select Dutch language (then it i
'hieronder'), but still the wrong language.

It really looks like a translation error

Strange. I don't see that problem here (with English, I mean).

Just to be clear, you did remember to update the field (select it and press
F9)?

[sorry to reply so late]

Yes, I did update. I can actually see the text change, only in Englis
it changes from 'hieronder' to another Dutch word: 'onder'.

So, from what I am seeing, the English translation in the Dutch versio
of Word is wrong

I have sent an e-mail to fellow MVPs (and to the Office Product group).
Hopefully, someone will be able to tell if this is a known issue.
