Cool. I wonder if its possible to create some kind of fallback
structure? i.e Have "EN" as American English, if a user has a British
English (EN_GB?) language selected then if there is no EN_GB string then
it falls back to EN. That would make it a much simpler task!
Anyway, I'll take a look at that after I've got my plugin released and
assume it's American English for the time being.
