Hello,
I have the need to have 2 cells side-by-side (one in English and the other in French). In the English one, I have =Text('variables'!$B$33,"dddd mmm dd, yyyy") which results in the value 'Saturday, September 01, 2007' being returned. How can I do the same but resulting in the French counterpart being returned such as 'Samedi le 1 septembre, 2007'? Is there a way to set the language of a cell? Thank you for your guidance, Daniel P |

No, you would have to maintain language specific lists and look it up.
