[Closed] Different 3dsmax languages = different maxscript results?

Been working on a script that some testers have reported generates errors in non-English versions of 3dsmax.

Here is a snippet of code that apparently generates an error in French versions of 3dsmax, but runs fine in English versions.

   	function appendifunique1 a b =
 	(
 		if a.count > 0 then
 		(
 		for j in 1 to a.count do
 		(
 			if a[j] == b then exit
 				
 			if j == a.count then a[a.count +1] = b
 			
 			
 		)
 	)else a[a.count +1] = b
 		
 		
 	)
 	
 
 a = #("1.jpg","2.jpg")
 b = #("3.jpg","4.jpg")
 
 c = join a b
 
 d = getfiles ("c:\\*.*")
 
 
 for j in 1 to d.count do
 (
 	appendIfUnique1 c d[j]
 	
 )
 
 f = filenamefrompath a[1]

  

The error generated, in French 3dsmax, is:

Maxscript FileIn Exception

–Erreur de syntaxe: à then, attendu <facteur>

–Dans ligne: if a.count > 0 then si a.count > 0 Then

Any ideas as to what’s going on?
