Using english function names Excel with German user interface

[xirx]

Hi!

For some stupid reason, MS decided that a (e.g.) German version of Excel
should not only have a German user interface (Menus, Online-Manuals/Help),
but German function names as well. As I am used to use english function
names, I am lost...

Is there any way to get my German Excel to display functions with their
english names?

thx 4 your help / pointers.

As a quickie, if you type something like

Activecell.Formula="=SUMPRODUCT(A1:A10,B1:B10)"

in the immediate window in the VBIDe, then go to Excel, you will see the
German equivalent.
