Setting environment variables
From NeoWiki
Some features or behaviors of NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code are controlled not by standard application preferences but instead by UNIX environment variables.

OOO_CALC_USE_ENGLISH_FORMULAS
One such environment variable is OOO_CALC_USE_ENGLISH_FORMULAS, which controls whether the formula function names (SUM, etc.) are displayed using their English names when NeoOffice running in a non-English language. For example, you may wish to run NeoOffice with Dutch menus, etc., but have functions displayed using their standard English names.
