The exact case as in symbol.src in RID_UI_SYMBOL_NAMES is required.

Also translation of those symbol names must follow a specific syntax
otherwise the result in the formula editor may not work.
The required naming scheme for those symbols is:

1) They must start with an alphabetic character
2) The following characters may be alphanumeric or a '.' (ASCII period)

This especially allows for
  - Alpha2
  - alpha.small, alpha.large, less.equal
  - use of non-western characters like Russioan, Greek, Japanese, ...
and it implicitly disallows
  - names containing white spaces
  - more than one word (those should be written as e.g.
    AbcDefg or abc.defg, ...)
  - the use of the _ character
    (that one is used as subscript symbol after all)


Minor correction about the English names used in the ODF file format:
The names used there (which a normal user will never see) are those
defined in RID_EXPORT_SYMBOL_NAMES in symbol.src (which just happen to
be the same as the en-US UI names listed in RID_UI_SYMBOL_NAMES).


Regards,
Thomas
