--- Comment #6 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
Actually, the problem isn't described clearly.

Namely, there's NO function "summe" in no locale of LO writer. So, original
poster described the situation where one uses arbitrary name as "function" and
sees that it is ignored by writer.

When writer sees a formula like "=summe(<A1:A3>)", it parses it, finds "summe"
and looks for it in its pre-defined names (functions, variables and constants),
in user-defined names (variables), doesn't find it, and substitutes it with
empty string. Then it has formula like "=(<A1:A3>)", and processes it normally.

When using correct syntax (i.e. pre-defined name "SUM"), it is processed
correctly.

Then, what is the issue? Is it the proposal to add new function "summe" as a
localized name for "SUM"? If yes, then there should be other localizations for
other languages, too (and then, do it for calc as well).

Or maybe you mean that writer should not ignore unknown names (turn them into
empty strings), and should instead emit an error return value (like "<ERROR>")
in the cell (to notify user of possible mistake)?

It is not "NEW", until the actual problem is clarified. Setting to NEEDINFO,
please set it to "UNCONFIRMED" after providing necessary clarifications.

Thank you.
