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 https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA104381504, or directly from the Excel through the https://support.office.com/en-us/article/get-an-office-add-in-for-excel-d3df5854-0a4e-4169-9cc3-25177a288d3d
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!
- Thanks for the compliments Stafford :-)
Cool idea.
