[drupal-support] Changing the default English Translation (locale)

[Ross Kendall]

Thanks Pontus,

That's what I was doing, and it works fine, I guess it just bothered me 
that I had to call it something different to 'en', as I didn't want 
'en-GB' in the HTML 'language' attribute.  I can hack the template to 
say 'en' all the time, but that is a bit annoying if I really do want to 
provide multiple translations.

Like I said, just me being fussy.
