Currently, ooo math has only one set of symbol IDs (RID_UI_SYMBOL_NAMES 1 ~ 66).
The name of symbol is used for both UI string (in symbols dialog) and input code
(with %). This causes some usability issues in case of below.

For instance, Korean character (Hangul) does not have concept of captial & small
letter. So we have to put symbol name like 'capital alpah' instead of 'ALPHA'.
Unfortunetly, there is no distinction between those two in current Korean
version, so it is not able to input small greek letter (see
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=47061 ). Also, some symbol name
such as 'notequal' is better to be shown with space in UI. Actually, several
symbol names have space in current Korean version. This is good for UI but
breaks function. The most important point is that many people may feel more
comfortable with English name for input code (like in case of programming
language). However, they still want to see symbol name in UI in their native
lanugae.

I understand that those issues are supposed to be handled in L10n. However,
seperaion of UI string and input code makes it a lot eaiser, I believe.
