All of sc/source/ui/src/scfuncs.src is translatable, with the exception
of the ExtraData structs of course, which isn't exported to POTs anyway.
You identified the strings of RID_SC_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTIONS* correctly,
first string of a function is it's description, then alternating follow
a parameter's name and it's description. However, the parameter names
should be consistent and identical for identical functionality, e.g
"Database field" for all parameters that are used as a database field,
or "Number" for any number. Usage could have been defined in the
glossary of your language.
What looks like function names in sc/source/ui/src/globstr.src, for
example RID_GLOBSTR.STR_* names SUM, COUNT and so on, should be
identical to the real function names used in
sc/source/core/src/compiler.src for consistency, but isn't necessary for
functionality. These names are offered to the user to choose from in
some dialogs and are mapped to the real functions then.
The function names used in formulas and in the function pilot are
defined in sc/source/core/src/compiler.src and have the constraints that
they can't contain spaces or symbols or other punctuation characters
than dot ('.') or underscore ('_'); letters and digits are fine (must
start with a letter), the definition of letter here includes accented
characters, CJK characters, and so on.
