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:
