doable for the applications, since they usually don't contain large text 
blocks, forget it for the documentation - there would be way too much 
duplication. But, since this way we would end up translating two related 
items (an application and its documentation) in an inconsistent way, I say 
this should be limited to *really* important differences, or to differences 
that wouldn't cause inconsistencies (like localizing the "mailbox" icon - 
using a country-specific picture is usually harmless). That said, from a 
strictly formal point of view, I think UK English is the gold standard for 
the English language. Others are free to disagree

currency information is stored in the locale database (the Registry for 
custom settings, the locale.nls file otherwise), and *nowhere else*. I 
don't know if we already have it, though
