Marking it as high in the translations project: this has already caused some confusion to Catalan users not living in the Valencia area. Both variants are understandable regardless of the region, but choosing one over the other changes the established (and expected) terminology users are used to.

Hm, I fixed it by setting the correct locale in my installation, and the person who reported it to me as well, so I cannot post the data from those. I've reinstalled on a virtual machine with Internet connection and marking the checkbox to download updates on the installer. I couldn't reproduce
