What is LARGE called in Spanish?

In Spanish Google Sheets it is K.ESIMO.MAYOR. The formula =LARGE($B$2:$B$9,D2) is written =K.ESIMO.MAYOR($B$2:$B$9;D2) (or with commas under a Mexico locale).

Why does LARGE use semicolons in some spreadsheets?

It depends on each spreadsheet's locale, under File > Settings. Where the comma is the decimal mark (Spain, much of South America), arguments are separated by semicolons. Mexico and United States locales use commas.
