There is no "right fix" for this type of brain-dead nonsense. Localized string
arguments are a no-go. Localized Excel versions know the localized and the
English strings, an English Excel knows only English strings. A German localized
Excel is not able to interpret a localized document originating from a French
localized Excel.
The only thing we could do would be to implement some mapping tables that make
parameters accept dozens of different localized strings, preferring those of the
UI localization and the working locale in case the same string would have a
different meaning in different languages. IMHO there is no mechanism though in
the l10n framework that would allow to add arbitrary localizations to an
existing item and have all localizations available in each UI localization.. so
we'd have to start something from scratch. I definitely do not want a list of
strings in the source code.
Btw, also MOOXML and ODFF define English strings only.
