Excel Formula Translator

Excel localises function names: SUM becomes SUMME in German and SOMME in French, so a formula copied from one language version breaks in another. Paste a formula, pick the languages, and get the working version back, with the argument separator swapped to match.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Excel change function names by language?
Excel shows function names in the language of its interface, so an English SUM appears as SUMME in a German Excel and SOMME in a French one. The underlying file stores them in English, but what you type and read in the formula bar is localised. That is why a formula shared between colleagues in different countries can show a #NAME? error.
Does it change the argument separator too?
Yes. English Excel separates function arguments with a comma, while many European versions use a semicolon. When you translate between languages that differ, the separator is swapped automatically so the formula is valid as typed.
Which languages are supported?
The most widely used Excel interface languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. Common functions across maths, logic, lookup, text, date and statistics are covered.
Will it translate text inside my formula?
No, and that is deliberate. Only function names and the argument separator change. Cell references, numbers, and any text inside quotation marks are left exactly as written, so the formula keeps doing the same thing.
Is my file sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your file is read and processed on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is logged or stored.
