British English locale

Ideally we would have

  • English (equal to the current “English”, but with international date formats)
    • English (US) (only different date formats, fall back to English)
    • English (UK) (British spelling, fall back to English)

I definitely want to add an English locale with international date formats. I’m just not sure how. The correct way would be to

  1. change the date formats in the existing en locale files
  2. add an additional en_US locale
  3. migrate everyone who’s currently using en to en_US

In theory that should work without problems. I’ll certainly give it a try. The alternative would require us to invent a new locale key (e.g. en_INT) and add it as “English (International)”. I’m actually not a fan of that solution.

Also, @sau226 started working on the the British locale on Transifex. I’m not sure if he’s there’s more work to be done or if “colour” is actually the only word that needs changing in our locale files. I highly doubt it. :blush:
