Big Software Companies Have Too Much Money...

I was just installing Adobe Photoshop CS2 and I could pick from North American English or British English.

I don't think the differences for a graphics editing program between the two are enough to warrant ANY additional work from a localization team....

Boggles my mind what that guys job is, trying to translate between two different, very close, versions of English.

Maybe I should send them my resume, I can make an Engrish localization, maybe a Spanglish one, I can even North American English into separate packs for Southern North American English, West Coast North American English, and Bostonian English.

It probably just replaces all instances of 'color' with 'colour'.

i doubt they spent more than a few days localizing it. probably cost them under $10k. A small price to pay to make UK customers happy if you ask me.
