Thank you Mark and Eike!

Regarding point 1):

My opinion is that a localisation that uses the letter "c" for the argument is
a better strategy than changing the localised function name (less disruptive to
users who are used to the current name, and makes it more consistent with
English). I copied Piotr in for a more qualified opinion.

Regarding points 2) and 3):

I understand better now. The English help page is correct in its use of
arguments names, for both functions (despite some inconsistency, see Bug
152292):

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/scalc/01/04060183.html

The Polish-language translation is confusing, as it talks about the K-th
("K-tą") largest/smallest value instead of using the proper argument name
"rząd_K":

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/pl/text/scalc/01/04060183.html

This specific translation issue can be corrected in Weblate: 
-
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_help-master/textscalc01/pl/?checksum=e4e1e7f63b3df58c&q=K-t%C4%85&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition

Note that the German translation also uses "K" in the function name and,
misleadingly, in the description (the argument name doesn't use "K").
For reference, the function description from MS Office:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/large-function-3af0af19-1190-42bb-bb8b-01672ec00a64

If you think the *original* (English) description needs changing, better open a
new Bugzilla ticket here to fix that (and the translations will follow from
there).

In any case, I have filed Bug 152292 to *first* make the English version
consistent (which will avoid some unnecessary translations).
