Hi, I'm Andras Timar, owner of the Hungarian Native-Lang project.
I would like to get input from you about the issue of Calc function names. Currently function names are not localised in the Hungarian version of OOo. Advanced users prefer English function names, because they are universal, it is easier to find examples on the net etc. These users would be sick, if I translated the function names in OOo. However, in schools teachers teach the Hungarian version of Excel. Function names are localised in Hungarian Excel. Some teachers told me that they would not like to migrate to OOo until the function names are not localised. I promised to the Hungarian community that I try to find a solution. I am thinking about a feature that allows the following: 1. Users can enter functions both in their native language and in English - even mixed if they like. 2. There is a setting whether Calc should display function names localised or not. The default is that the function names are displayed in the native language. The issues 38765 and 66189 request similar features, but I do not want to support all possible language combinations. I would like only two: English and the current UI language. I have also read this thread: http://l10n.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=3413 My questions: 1. What do you think, is it possible to implement this easily, for example is it enough to patch /sc/source/core/tool/compiler.cxx? I'm not a programmer but if you could provide some guidelines, I may get somebody to do the coding work. 2. Do you like this idea? If I provide you with a patch, would you integrate it? (Providing that it works, does not break anything etc.) 3. Do you think it is possible to implement this feature as an extension? Thanks in advance.
