          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Formulas expect arguments in Locale Language when
                    Formulas are set to English names
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice

If a user selects the "Use English function names" (under Tools> Options>
LibreOffice Calc> Formula) then it is because he/she is used to typing formulas
in English.

In this situation it doesn't make sense that valid arguments are expected in
the language defined in Locale Settings.

How to reproduce:
Set your Locale to another language (e.g. Portuguese) (under Tools> Options>
Language Settings> Languages> Locale setting)
In the attached file paste formula =VLOOKUP(C2;A2:B3;2;FALSE)in cell D2 and/or 
=HLOOKUP(C5;A5:B6;2;FALSE) in D5. 

Expected result:
Should be equal to 3 if you set "Use English function names" regardless of the
Locale Language

Actual result:
It's equal to 3 if your Locale is English and equal to #NAME if it is another
language (because in e.g. Portuguese it expects FALSO as argument)
