How to find formula keywords for none English regional options
In my Visual Studio for Office application, I have the code that writes to an
Excel cell a formula =IF(AND($A40<"",$B40<""),$A40-$B40,"") It works well when the Windows Regional Option is English. But it does not work when the Regional Option is changed to Swedish. For Swedish settings, the separator needs to be changed from , to ; which can be obtained from System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture. But it also needs to change €śIF€ť to €śWENN€ť and €śAND€ť to €śUND€ť. In another formula, I have €śPOWER€ť. Is there any system parameter that can return the text strings as the replacement of €śIF€ť, €śAND€ť, €śPower€ť, etc. for the given regional option? Otherwise to use a big Case statement to switch on the three letters Windows language name is neither convenient nor complete. Thanks in advance for any information. |

You would write the formula in the English form, Excel will translate it.
