What is ROUNDDOWN called in Spanish?

In Spanish Google Sheets it is REDONDEAR.MENOS. The formula =ROUNDDOWN(B2/C2,0) is written =REDONDEAR.MENOS(B2/C2;0) (or with commas under a Mexico locale).

Why does ROUNDDOWN 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.
