international excel issues

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Creating an excel-document using automation seems to be a national dependent process
if you ask me.

If I am doing a program that puts the IF function in a cell (using Excel.Application with IDispatch),
it works to create the document using my program on a computer with an english installation of excel.

But not if the installation language is swedish.

Then I have to use OM instead of IF. People that claims that you always can use the english translation and it will
be automatically translated to swedish, did they actually test it before they claimed it?

Am I expected to have a list with all possible translations in my program and to check which version the user
runs?

Or can I set the Excel.Application object in a certain mode where it will understand english?
