Hah, never noticed this. It's a simple change:
@@ -29,7 +29,8 @@
let s:lang = v:lang
endif
" A language name must be at least two characters, don't accept "C"
- if strlen(s:lang) > 1
+ " Also skip "en_US" to avoid picking up "en_gb" translations.
+ if strlen(s:lang) > 1 && s:lang !~? '^en_us'
" When the language does not include the charset add 'encoding'
if s:lang =~ '^\a\a$\|^\a\a_\a\a$'
