Functions Translator Add-in
Hi Folks,
Microsoft Garage announced a new Excel add-in which is very helpful to finding a correct function name in your local language in case you have a localized version of Excel.
The new add-in is called Functions Translator, you can get it from here, or directly from the Excel through the Office Store.
It supports Excel 2013 SP1 or later.
As described in the overview section of the add-in page, the Functions Translator Add-in supports your work in all localized versions of Excel in the following ways:
- Enables you to translate all functions between all supported languages
- Enables you to translate complex formulas between all supported languages
- Provides you with bi-lingual dictionaries with function definitions (in English) for function lookup
- Enables you to give feedback on translations
It can help some experts here to translate their suggested formulas if the help applicant works on a localized version of Excel.

Indeed Mourad's tool is excellent! I know for a fact a few MVPs like Deleted, JKPieterse, Catherine MONIER &Fred LeGuen gave the internal team (Martin Orsted & Vadim Khondar) who created the Functions Translator Add-in some great feedback on it during development. Their experience and knowledge really helped the team deliver a good end product! The language skills and Excel experience of Jørgen Koch and Anna-Karin Petrussen also helped!
