We've been through this before, but I should mention it again:

About 2 years ago I corrected much of the English for Open ERP (I changed
only the label strings, not the names). Since then, new strings have been
put in with the same old incorrect spellings (there are some favourites,
which must be rooted in one language or another - *developper* is one, *
ressource* is another). So a one-off change does not work for long.

Somebody proposed a new process so that incorrect spelling does not get
committed to the published code, but I don't think that process has been
implemented.

There are significant differences between UK English and American English,
but most UK people are used to seeing that. Accountants are more resistant:
they like to see 'Creditors' rather than 'Accounts Payable' for example, so
there should be an easy way to provide differences - which there is in
OpenERP.
