Default use excel sheet in a different language


Hello,

I live in Germany and thus use a German version of Excel. I have an
Excel file, which contains some formulas, e.g.:

wenn( gleich(A1;A2) ; B2; F8 )

which in English would be something like

if( equals(A1;A2) ; B2; F8 )

I wonder what will happen, if a user in lets say the US will open that
file. That user will have an English version of Excel. Will this
English version be able to parse the German formula "wenn(
gleich(A1;A2) ; B2; F8 )"?
Or will I have to rewrite all formulas, i.e. replace any "wenn" by "if"
and any "gleich" by "equals" and so on?
If this replacement has to been done, is there a software which can do
this transformation automatically or will I have to do the changes
manually?

Thanks in advance for you help
