Is there a way to force English (US) localization for the web and desktop clients? There are errors in the default English localization which don’t appear to be correctable via Transifex, since its source language is set to English (United States) and cannot be translated. For example, this setting is incorrect for English (US) in Settings → Library (in US English, we omit the ‘u’):

It’s (hopefully) obviously not a big deal as the meaning is not changed at all. It would however be nice to be able eliminate the dissonance caused by seeing unexpected spellings.

This string is actually in the Plex server project, not that of the web app.

Thanks @OttoKerner. May I ask how localization is handled in this case? Or is it “One English to rule them all?”

(I’ll add the appropriate server tag to my post.)

No, English (US) is simply the “original” language of the software. It’s just that there are developers from all over the world working on Plex. And sometimes there is a spelling slipping through to which the developer is accustomed to, so it isn’t spotted.

Thanks. I understand (and appreciate) that. It was my hope that there was some means of correcting such errors. Perhaps someone from the server team will see this and have some input. Or, more likely, I’ll just have to get over it. Either way, thank you for your replies, I appreciate your help!

[Edit]
Removing tags. Whining over.
