http://www.bcpl.net/~jspath/isocodes.html lists UK as United Kingdom and GB
as Great Britain but digitalid.verisign.com/ccodes.html lists only GB and
as United Kingdom. It lists nothing for UK. I guess UK is one of those
historical leftovers that http://www.bcpl.net/~jspath/isocodes.html admits
to including. I guess somebody needs to tell the KDE folks that they are
living in the 1960's.

Yes. I was interested in the difference between the two dialects of
english :)

Surely there are locales for welsh and Scottish gaelic?
