Hi Rhoslyn, We could be able to do this for you after our 1.0 release, in about 2 weeks. Would this be ok?
As an alternative, we could make a special build for you that sets cy-GB as the default language for your installs. You then ship those binaries to your schools. We could build against our 0.99.3 release, scheduled for this friday. Would my suggestion suffice for 2 weeks?
