dl,
For the Chinese versions, English function names work fine.

Are you in possession of MS Access? Then this could help you partly, a
translation-of-terms database:

When I'm not mistaken, they offer 29 languages.

functions are stored internally as a token or code. It is translated by the
localized version of Excel for display. So if you put in a valid formula in
a cell containing valid builtin functions and it works in your version, it
should work in any version. This is not true for Analysis toolpak functions
since these are in an addin, but none of the functions you ask about are
from the analysis toolpak.

If you are doing VBA, then always enter the formula in US English with the
Formula or FormulaR1C1 methods and it will be translated automatically

This is useful and we will use as a guide, but does not resolve our issues.

Thanks for the contribution.

If you are using code to insert the function then this does not seem to
translate the formula automatically. What we have found is that we need to
use the correct country function for this to work. An example is below.



Eg.



Range("a1").formulalocal="=rept(char(150),3)



If we did enter the formual in US English then what would be the code for
this.



Dim intCountry as integer

intCountry =Application.International(xlCountryCode)

Application.International(xlCountryCode)=1

Range("a1").formulalocal="=rept(char(150),3)

Application.International(xlCountryCode)=intCountry



Thanks for your assistance and all others that have contributed to date.

I said to use Formula or FormulaR1C1, not any formula with LOCAL included in
the name

Range("a1").formula="=rept(char(150),3)"

should work fine.

Also, Stephen Bullen has written the "definitive" tome on International
issues. A quote from one of his recent posts:

There's much more about these types of issue in my 'International
Issues' chapter of John Green's "Excel 2002 VBA Programmer's
Reference", which can also be read online on my web site, at:
