I have not looked at the British vs. American English issues. Part of
the reason is that I'm a bit fuzzy on how we use the PO files for these.
Is the following correct?
* All of Wine resources are supposed to be 100% American English.
* en_US is automatically filled using Wine's resources.
* en is manually translated to British English, essentially like any
other language.
Why en rather than en_GB?
Should en.po only contain translations where British differs from
American English? But then how do we know that the translation is
complete?
There is also a bug that claims having en.po be incomplete causes
trouble, though I could not observe that and am pretty skeptical:
