Unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated that that. If we replace
all instances
of Catalogue with Catalog, all 28 translations of Koha will need to have their
PO files updated. I've identified a few words and variations that I
_think_ cover
almost all the en-GB/en-US/en-FR issues in the 3.0 version, and I can run a
search and replace against the codebase to update them. Here's what I came
up with:

organisation authorised catalogue cataloguing

I bet that covers about 90% of the cases ... does anyone have any other examples
of British spelling in the staff or opac?

At the moment managing Kartouche is done on the command line, there's no
administrative interface to it that is web-based that would allow you
to do things
like add new languages. Also, the process for updating the PO files is also done
on the command line and must be done every time you update Kartouche. It's
unfortunately a very long and boring process.

Cheers,
