Bug#548608: openoffice.org-l10n-da: danish function names like KVROD() broken i formulas in oocalc
Package: openoffice.org-l10n-da
Version: 1:3.1.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Using the squareroot function in oocalc is not possible when openoffice.org-l10n-da is
installed and selected with a danish locale.
Making a ods spreadsheet with just the formula "=SQRT(2)" with LANG=en_US works fine.
Opening the spreadsheet again with LANG=da_DK or LANG=da_DK.UTF-8 displays the cell result
value "1,41" as expected, but the formula is shown as "=KVROD (SQRT på engelsk)(2)".
It is not possible to type a new formula using this function name. Neither "SQRT", "KVROD" or
"KVROD (SQRT på engelsk)" is accepted as a function name.
It seems that a helpful comment has been put in an unfortunate place in the translation
of some function names.
Several other function names have a similar problem, examples include:
The formula: "=RAND()" is translated to "=SLUMP (RAND på engelsk)()"
The formula: "=MOD(7,3)" is translated to "=REST (MOD på engelsk)(7;3)"
