Since there are translation files for English (UK) and English (New Zealand), does it make sense for English (American) to be the default language for Koha? Unconsciously, I tend to write in American English, although since moving to Australia, I tend to change my Z to an S in many cases for writing email. Should there be a recommendation somewhere that people write (at least in templates) in American English? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I am certainly not in the best position to take a part in this debate (...) but why do you choose the American spelling as "standard"?
Because the rest of Koha already uses US spelling ("cataloging," "authorized" in most places, "check out," etc.). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

And the point isn't that American spelling is "standard," just that it is the convention for Koha templates.
Indeed. If the consensus swings the other way in time and folks want to write templates in en-GB or en-NZ, that's fine. Speaking as a USian, we're perfectly capable of using 's's and extra 'u's. We just need to pick one at any given point in time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
