In order hopefully make things clear: 1) In the ODF file format itself only the english names of Maths predefined symbols are used. 2) Upon loading a Math formula those English (lets call them 'programmatic names') are automatically converted to the localized names using the office UI language. And thus if with an English office UI %mu was used in a document then when this document is opened with an office with German UI language, then the %mu becomes a %my. See RID_UI_SYMBOL_NAMES in symbol.src and its respective localizations.
