Add "British English" option in language selection

ninjalarvitar

I'm from the UK and I think you should be able to set the language on the scratch website to English (UK).

For example…

change [color] effect by (25)

would become…

change [colour] effect by (25)

And a bunch of other changes too.

I think it would be more pleasant for people from the UK to look at.

YES

Pachurisu

Yup, I strongly agree.

Hm, if there's a Portuguese and a Brazilian Portuguese option, then why not American English and British English?

Support.

Support. Does the language selection effect the whole site? If so, then “favorite” should be changed to “favourite” as well.

Don't know how this would work, but maybe for BBcode too? I keep spelling the

[color=red]Scratch[/color]

like

[colour=red]Scratch[/colour]

!

I always do that, also in the “change color effect by ()” scratchblocks syntax on the forums.

I think there's a localization system somewhere - forgot where

should be easy for the ST to add another row.

Support, even though I prefer English (US).

I'm American but I think this is a great idea! There's a French(France) and a French(Canada), so why not the same for English?

savaka

Support even though I'm not British.

Mokat

Support. If we have this option for other languages, then why not english?

Centrifugal

Support.

Isn't there a way you can make a language for the scratch website?

Ah yes - you can help with translating scratch.

Although I use America English, I believe this is going to help many European and Australian users.

EDIT I think this topic is the cause of British stereotypes spreading everywhere. On this topic, I ONLY want comments on the suggestion, not things about British culture.

British people have no trouble reading American English, but I guess.

It should be

English (US)
English (UK)

this is a good idea, although I don't see any areas where this could be too helpful, as normal text inputted by users would not be changed.
