Description vg 2007-02-16 09:08:53 UTC 
In Italian localization there are two abbreviations for English:  "Inglese (US)"
and "Inglese (USA)". I do not know which is correct, but there should be only
one everywhere.

Comment 3 Andrea Pescetti 2007-02-16 19:52:59 UTC 
The country is commonly abbreviated as USA, so "Inglese (USA)" seems more
natural. But wait for a reply from our l10n team.

ok, waiting for the reply

-> set as started
Comment 5 acattelan 2007-02-21 19:06:50 UTC 
I agree with Pescetti: the name of the country in Italian is USA, not US, 
therefore it seems just obvious that the form "Inglese (USA)" should be used.

Comment 7 eldalye 2007-02-23 10:03:28 UTC 
I would suggest to use "inglese_usa", as it is formally more correct. The 
term "US" is only a very common shortcut, but not the correct name of the 
country.
