Hello!

I have looked at 'formula'. 

https://translate.apache.org/sv/aoo40/formula/

It seems like the words in 'formula' are going to be used in calculations (in 
for example spreadsheat). I wonder if it would not be more correct to leave 
these words untranslated, as they are mathematical functions that should be 
universal. Usually, this kind of mathematical functions have the same name (the 
English name) all over the world. 

Here I found some documentation of these functions
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Mathematical_functions

If mathematical functions in spreadsheets are not universal, then there will be 
compatibility problems if spreadsheets are shared between different languages 
(installations of OpenOffice in different languages), and that may create 
problems in international cooperation.

Programs like Matlab® and other computing tools do not have different names of 
mathematical functions depending on the language of the user.

Anybody that can comment my thoughts about this?
