Still to this day, when I occasionally use Excel/Libre Office Calc I never know wether to write `sum(` or `summe(`. Function names depend on the localization settings of the system I'm working on.

This. I am always wondering if this was a serious decision. In my view it doesn't make any sense to switch function names by locale. It just confuses

Presumably one uses the same locale everywhere? So switching by locale should not be a problem?

Supporting multiple languages is a problem all right: googling, communication, etc...

Until you get an Excel file written in another locale. The coolest one i had was one with Japanese formulas.
