Please add British English language to localize.drupal.org (I did check at http://bit.ly/9xdtL that there is no existing issue for this language).
The language code is en-gb.

I think that Drupal Core probably doesn't need a British English translation, however Ubercart badly needs British English for words such as check/cheque.
I filed a request on UC #614816: Provide a British English localization, and been told I should work here instead.

new ubercart-6.x-2.0_en_GB.po2.01 KB

Here's an inital .po file for the Ubercart 2.0 (D6) release I created quickly yesterday. Hope it's all correct, I'm not sure if I've made it the right way. I'm assuming that the .po file should only contain strings which have been translated...

Turns out we have a problem -- core has no en-gb registered as a possible language.

I don't how to add a language that is not in the list at admin/build/translate.

EDIT: have managed to do that, though it's fairly complicated.

To be in line with languages such as pt-br, we should use a hyphen in en-gb, I think.

Created team at http://localize.drupal.org/languages/en-gb

Please expect that there might be bumps in the service. You are among the beta-tester of this live instance. Thanks for helping out and please report issues as you find them! Your team members can now join and help import existing translations and work on more translations.

Also note that I've set this up so that it uses a controlled model (that group admins moderate translations). If you'd rather work in an open model (that everyone can directly submit translations), that is up to you and you can edit your group node to reconfigure anytime.

Welcome on board!

Thanks!

From the FAQ there:

Q: I usually commit .pot files and translations on behalf of translators to my modules/themes/install profiles, or tell them to commit themselves. What should I do now?
A: Well, for now, you still need to commit these or tell the translators to commit themselves (if/once they have CVS accounts). We plan to change this by moving the translations out of your project space, so you don't need to care about this.

Does that mean I should reopen #614816: Provide a British English localization to get this file into Ubercart now? Is there a timescale on translations being out of project space?

Also, where do I file support requests when I find bumps in the service? ;)

@ghazlewood: do you want to upload your file from above so it's attributed to you rather than me?

(@gabor: there's your first bug report ;)

Have uploaded my pot file, is that all I need to do? I guess you can review and approved/decline the translations I've supplied as a moderator?

joachim commented

I think so...
I've approved them all except the one that says 'mail' as I want to put 'post' instead, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Do you want to be a moderator?

@joachim: You've probably found the "Having issues?" link to submit issues. On the Ubercart translation, I think Ryan was clear that they are not going to submit any .po files to their project. While Drupal projects generally include the .po files in their CVS space, Ubercart seems to have choosen not to do so. People will be able to join the British group and export the .po files from here anytime, therefore no need to wait for Ubercart releases.

Translations will be out of project space for all projects once the issues at http://drupal.org/project/issues/search?issue_tags=ldodomination are resolved and this proves to be a stable distribution model, so we don't need to use CVS anymore for any project. Contributions are definitely welcome!

I think he did so in the belief that the ldo system was already up and running...

EDIT: scratch that, he says: "We actually intentionally don't package up .po files in official releases and direct people to instead download their appropriate localization from an l10n server"
Which I think is kinda... why? but heh.
