Confirm this bug again.
Since Björn Michaelsen is the libreoffice packaging guru, I'll stop my heuristic search for the bug at this point:

1. Looking at the libreoffice-translations archiv:
At least I found that all those functions that are _only_ present in
scaddins/source/analysis.po (e.g.)
and _not_ also in 
formula/source/core/resource.po

seem to be in GERMAN language, e.g.:

tobias@einstein:de$ grep MONAT * -lr
formula/source/core/resource.po
helpcontent2/source/text/scalc/01.po
scaddins/source/datefunc.po
scaddins/source/analysis.po
tobias@einstein:de$ grep MONATE * -lr
helpcontent2/source/text/scalc/01.po
scaddins/source/datefunc.po

While MONATE() is german, MONTH() is english.

2. It seems a little weird with the _ADD functions, since 
e.g. the GGT is wrongly displayed in english as GCD(), 
but the GGT_ADD() function is german. 
I cannot find the msgid in either po-file, only in 
helpcontent2/source/text/scalc/01.po
So I guess these are composed internally to the GGT_ADD() somehow.

3. Comparing with other platforms: Also tried to build libreoffice to find out what is different to other platforms, but hey, I would need help here. Looking at the debian/rules it's no big deal to predict that the deb-packages from libreoffice.org/download are different than the ubuntu-packages.
One should check if this bug exists in the debian/testing or debian/sid releases.

4. Also: It does not change anything using the configuration switch:
"LibreOffice Calc -> Formula -> Use english function names"

5. This bug is severely keeping me away from installing it. 
All educational institutions should not install this localized version.


Hope something helps here.

Title:
  some function names in Calc appear in english others in local language
  (mixed up)

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10
  LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302)  (Ubuntu-build)

  UI is set to German
  Function Wizard shows some function names in english others in german

  demonstrated this bug to Björn Michaelsen at LibreOffice-Conference in
  Paris today.

  This is severe, because in order to use the functions one must use
  english function names for some functions and german function names
  for other functions, but you don´t know for which function exactly
  which language is to be used.
