That's your opinion, and you are entitled to it. However my<br>
co-conversationalists on the IRC channel thought having a separate<br>
en_GB language quite a good idea, particularly as the G1G1 scheme is<br>
going to be extended to the whole of the EU shortly, which of course<br>
includes the United Kingdom itself.<br>

It's not my personal opinion that the manual is in a good location to start being translated into en_GB. I would rather an english speaker continue to improve the manual itself for the time being. In time I think that it would be great to have an en_GB, even if it were one volunteer maintaining it. That being said, I don't know how that much about FM translation tools yet.<br>
<br>In IRC my strong opinion was that there should be a translation of the Sugar Software into en_GB, which would involve talking to Sayamindu and the [Translation] list, not the Library list.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
