Enhancement: Multiple English Languages (British, American) #610

Open JerJohn15 opened 8 years ago

JerJohn15 commented 8 years ago

So I recently learned that there are more than two ways to spell the English word, "favorite". In America, the common way to spell it is "favorite", while in Britain its spelled "favourites" (GitHub considers the latter to be mispelled). Being from the states myself and having never seen the word spelled, "favourites" (to my knowledge), I am VERY tempted to change every occurrence of the word "favourites" to "favorites" (I already made the change in the README.md file). However, I don't want someone else to feel the same way I do about another word so I'm proposing that we include a language pack for different variations of the English language (there's apparently already a Swiss German, #141, feature).

Sounds good and would avoid confusion (with spelling). But it would be more effort.

Your right it would be, but I'm going to go ahead and change "favourite/s" to "favorites" in my next pull request.

Since English seems to be the default language of this project, it is probably necessary to decide which of the versions will be default (probably American?).
