Thanks Robin - I had never noticed that there were EN-GB files in 3.8 ;={ 
I've just read Paul P.'s comments in translator_doc.txt and 
<http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_of_additional_languages_for_OPAC_and_INTRANET_staff_client#Adding_additional_languages_after_installing_Koha_on_your_server> 
and will try and find time to play with it in the sandbox.

And, btw, I was certainly not recommending changing the hard coded 
templates -- after hours of grep + vi, I would not be that sadistic to 
other users.

Thinking out loud, has anyone ever tried to set up a "language choice" 
option?  Here in Canada we have two official languages (EN and FR), and it 
would be very neat to become bi-lingual in Koha.

Best - Paul
