This is a great idea! I actually have a list going that I can share of terms that are different throughout. We should certainly have different English dictionaries to be the most user friendly. -- Nicole C.

Hi everyone,
Please forgive the re posting, but I think I managed to time my original for when HDL was moving the lists.
Anyway here is my request again.
I would like to do a Koha Translation into NZ English. This way we can manage some of the terms in the interface that those of us in this part of the world don't use. Things like zipcode -> postcode, state -> region etc.
Can a en-NZ language code be setup please? If we're going to start getting picky about English in the official releases, and having multiple variants, I'd suggest we first clean up the existing English to a specific variant so that we have something to work from, rather than the hodge

Fortunately, there's a free Dictionary for Library and Information Science that we can avail ourselves of: http://lu.com/odlis/. Would anyone be interested in 'cleaning up' the English language strings in accordance with ODLIS?
Also, w/respect to en-NZ, isn't that the same or nearly the same as en-GB?
