I don't think that was the case here (during FC-5 installation).
No other versions of English, such as US-English, were offered;
British was the only English-like language on offer.

Incidentally, the whole language-keyboard setting seemed very confusing.
I wanted to choose a UK keyboard (as opposed to US)
but with the euro in place of the pound.
When I chose "Irish" keyboard it assumed I wanted to write in Gaelic.
