Oh poo. I'm not a US-UK translator at work, I'm actually doing KDE as a 
hobby (I'm the team coordinator). Well I won't butt into channels again if 
it gives you lot the ***** (can't be foul though!), but can you lot all 
install the Great Britain language instead of the American one in the next 
few distros? I'd hate all our hard work to go to waste because people can't 
be bothered changing the language setting in the install programme. I have 
got to change most of the "dialings" though because we didn't notice it the 
first time around (don't worry, we left program alone so we wouldn't annoy 
people), so that's another job on our hands.

But please people, install the English language instead of the US so words 
like "color" or "dialog" don't become the norm.
