Yes, but it would be funny if you could just switch languages in the middle of your sheet, чтобы можно было начать на русском, continue in English,وانتهى باللغة العربية.

Tap for spoiler

I hope that the built in translation in iOS can translate to Arabic well

Don't worry, the arabic translation is correct

It's formal Arabic, as is expected of any translator

The best part is that if your version of Excel is German, you can’t write =IF(). You have to use =FALLS().

It’s always fun to google a function and then the translation.

I'm pretty sure it's not FALLS() but WENN(), at least the last time I used Excel.

Could be. I try to avoid Excel. And I believe “wenn” is a wrong translation, whether the function has that name or not.

Internally Excel saves it in English (or some internal code) and translates it when opened.

My company switched from Excel-Interops, where you had to send the German function name to Excel. Now we write .xlsx files directly and have to send the English function name. But when opened it displays all functions in German (or whatever localization Excel is set to).
