I don't think "localized" expression is a good idea. Expression parser
is a feature of Mathematical program rather than calculator program.
It would be better that the program keep the same with professional
program like Matlab. AFAIK, "log" and "tan" are the recommended style
of International Mathematical Union.

Rich> Asian locales have very different strings.
Yes. GUI buttons and mathematical expressions are different greatly.
In order to get the result of log(e*e), users have to input Chinese,
which is unreasonable.
