Yes, that would be nice. It is always a problem where one uses literals, like in the TEXT() function; the literals are not
translated.
It gets even more complicated if you have a multi-language version of Office: the function names get translated (except ATP
functions), the literals aren't.
And then in Excel 2007 there is a problem with translation of functions that used to be ATP, but now are (should be) built-in
functions.

What about an Esperanto version of Excel?

| | If you choose Date in FormatCellsNumber tab, you get a Locale
| option. So
| | I can choose to have Dutch weekday names in an English
| | version of Excel.
| | The option is not available in the NumberCustom dialog.
| | So I recorded a macro when formatting with a locale, to find out how
| to
| | set it from VBA. It seems it's not being recorded.
| | I searched for "locale" in both worksheet and VBA help, but didn't
| find
| | anything useful.
| | Google group search didn't help me either.
| | Does anybody know how to set the locale in a Custom format (I need
| just
| | the name of the weekday, which is not one of the options
| | in the Date dialog).
| | Of course I know there are many worksheet formula solutions, but
| that's
| | not what I'm looking for right now.
