Just as a point of clarification, I believe that en-US is a very common default in many FOSS distros or software packages, so I think that in this case there might be some justification based on consistency. Personally, 'International-EN' sounds like a fine choice. > Therefore by simple logic EN should also follow the same > format as the rest of the language choices. That seems reasonable to me. If we do have just one version of the text for all English-speaking visitors, we should put an emphasis on clarity and try to avoid idiomatic phrases or country-specific vocabulary that could be confusing to a chunk of our native English speakers. --R -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
