[plug] en_GB kde i18n

[John Knight]

Hi! As an awful lot of people would know, I'm in charge of the UK 
translation (I think everyone's a wee bit sick of me!). In most of the 
distros I've encountered, you had to install UK English seperately but I'm 
unsure of Mandrake 8.0. Please note that I'm not the final authority on this 
as I'm just a newbie myself (KDE said that I didn't need much Linux 
knowledge or programming skill).

If you're seriously worried, you can ask coolo at kde.org if you want.

seeya then! :)
P.S. Nice to see people going to the trouble of choosing their local 
language. :)
