Excel formula translator
Translate Excel formulas between English and localized function names.
Excel formula translator
Paste an Excel formula and this tool rewrites its function names between English and a localized language — Slovak, Czech, German, Polish or Hungarian. SUM becomes SUMA, VLOOKUP becomes SVYHLEDAT, IF becomes KDYŽ, and dozens of other common functions translate the same way, in either direction. It exists because Excel stores formulas in whatever language the workbook was created in, so a spreadsheet built on a Czech installation shows KDYŽ where an English one shows IF — pasting one into the other version breaks it until the function names match.
Pick a target language, then choose the direction: English to local, or local back to English — the swap button flips both the direction and the text, so a round trip is one click. The argument separator switches alongside it: most of these locales use a comma as the decimal separator, so their copy of Excel expects semicolons between formula arguments instead of commas. Auto mode matches the separator to the direction you picked; force comma or semicolon instead if your version of Excel doesn't follow that convention.
Only real function calls change — an identifier is translated when it's immediately followed by an opening parenthesis. Cell references such as A1 or Sheet1!A1:B2, plain numbers, and any text inside quotation marks are left exactly as written. A function the tool doesn't recognize stays untouched in the formula and is listed under the output instead of being guessed at, so you can check it by hand.
Everything runs in your browser — formulas often hold real business logic, and none of it is uploaded anywhere. Paste several formulas, one per line, and each is translated independently. Copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or send the output back into the input to translate it again in the other direction.
