Most en-US to en-GB translation work involves making simple word substitutions. Below is an attempt to create a comprehensive list of translations. Please use our [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list] to discuss any changes that you wish to make before committing them.
It is hoped that in the future we can have a script to perform the necessary transformations, using this data as input. In some cases, the spelling or use of particular words depends on context. The Ask? column indicates that the user should be questioned prior to the change being made. If it is empty, that word can be substituted without question.
