This hadn't even occured to me - I assumed it was in En-US. A standard is always a good idea and as much as I hate Americanisms I have to accept it as the default. To be honest though I think there are more problems than language. I'm sure its all been discussed before but would it be an idea to decide on structure and maybe spending a few days checking out the redundant information on the wiki, then once we know how we want it to just hit it on mass and bring it up to standard. I also noticed there are pages that are duplicated in the system documentation - such as the switching and dual booting guides.
