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.
