Just like there is many different dialects of Spanish, and other
languages the same is true of English, many parts of the language are
shared, and the most critical part for most people is making sure that
things like Paper settings, date, and number formats are correct for
their location. It is also critical that the local nuances though
looking at what is in place on disk all the other languages are
symlinks to en_GB except for en_CA and en_US
