BTW: I was wondering if you know why the Fedora RPMs for Sugar and Activities include message catalogs for en and even all the en_* variants:
It was a hack that was used at some points to fix typos in code (eg: if you had "Wopen" in the source code, you could probably just change the translation of "Wopen" to "Open" in en_US, since if you changed "Wopen" to "Open" in the code, all other translations would had to be updated as well).
Yet, do we really need a copy of the english catalog for each existing en_XX variant? It seems like a big waste of space.
