Hi Helmut,

I applied your patch and the updated document should be available online
in a few hours.
Can I expect your next patch (for another document) tomorrow :-?

Indeed. There is no strict rule for this. A few documents use en_US
others en_GB and there are also many which uses a mixture :-))

Since both authors Osamu and Javier do not speak English natively
(and since Osamu lived a long time in USA) I kept en_US in your patch.
