+Ah, I didn't look that far. I was under the assumption that an en_GB.po 
+file was already here and then it would be little trouble for anyone to 
+fix that. I agree, I don't think we should create new .po files without 
+someone willing to maintain them. Perhaps John or the bug reporter would 
+be willing to do this? If yes, then I'd say "more power to them", even 
+when it is just a single word. I think in general for any _XX language the 
+differences with the main language will be limited to variant spellings 
+and expressions in just a few places.

+Agreed. I just am not sure if closing the bug report is the right thing to 
+do. The report is correct and someone went through the trouble of 
+reporting it and now this will disappear off the radar again. It would be 
+nice if we would still keep this report around for the time when someone 
+will actively work on en_GB localisations.

+
+Amen.
