Hi Steve,

as Mr "As the en_GB translation team I have no problem with an exception."

I'd like to ask / point out a little 'funny' with the language packs.

Long story, cut short, was trying to help with language packs last night and
as the only other language I know more than 2 words of is French (I know
about 10 words ;-) ) I put the French language pack onto my system and
popped it into 1st place, it dutifully went into French (So far, so good). I
then moved English(GB) back to the top of the list, so that French was in
2nd place and applied it, but my log in screen remained in French. It was
only when I moved the French pack out of the active areas did I get it back
into English. My guess is that there is not an en-GB for the front screen
and it is defaulting to the 'catch all' English, if there is a 2nd language
pack there then it is correctly using that as the next in order of
preference.

Regards,

Phill.

The login screen is Ubuntu and I'm assured has been translated 100% into en_GB
