Haha... my very first commit to the LMS code base was a single line 
German translation update 
(https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commit/ea4a6e88b6c85e1e3720e5337eb0c88824ec4e28). 
Updating that translation is what got me actively involved with LMS in 
the first place. I think I still have the translate @ logitech dot com 
alias(!), though I've never dealt with actively translating, after my 
engagement at Logitech.

But I still remember from my community translator days that translating 
all of LMS is a HUGE task. Sure, British English is hopefully close 
enough to American English so you could concentrate on the differences. 
But still... a lot of work.

As for the how-to: You could provide it as a plugin, overwriting 
existing string tags with your version. Or you could go all in, 
providing British EN as an additional language setting in LMS. EN_UK as 
the language tag should probably work. But I haven't tested this...

Whatever you come up with: let me know. I'll be happy to help with the 
task. I might even still have some helper scripts to support the task. I 
once even had a plugin to update translations on the fly...
