Hi Olivier,

Most of the translation I have about Calc functions such as SUM, SUMIF,

function...."

Some people here are discorvering that, in fact, you can have up to 255
arguments in your function.

So, what should we put in our translation? Is this a unlisted feature?

The functions' number of possible parameters is 255, but the
FunctionWizard UI currently is limited to 30 arguments, if you have
a function with more arguments the remaining arguments and separators
get squeezed into the last parameter's UI edit field, which looks odd
but still works. That's why you encounter the magic number 30 in the
FunctionWizard descriptions that maybe also made it into the help text.

So in translations of the current FunctionWizard function descriptions
I'd stick with the 30 (saying 255 there but not actually supporting it
in the UI would be weird), but not mention that number elsewhere.
