en-gb is not a real translation effort. They are only adjusting English
to British. They wouldn't be very happy if "color" could be adjusted to
"colour" and "kolor", they chose "colour" and most translators in
Rosetta would chose "kolor" (or 10 other variants they would create
on-the-fly, including copying original or providing pseudo-language
monster).
