Steam with British English

[Tatsumakisen]

I'd prefer to see British (UK) English as an option instead of U.S English. For instance it shows 'Favourite Game' with the American variant, when that's not how we spell the word here.

I understand that, but it's just like asking the Portuguese to use the Spanish as a language on a platform as popular as Steam just because it's 'similar'. I haven't reached that stage in my life, but I would want my kids to be taught our way of spelling. I don't see it as much of an issue if they already cater for goodness knows how many languages. Google/Youtube have already acquiesced to it, so hopefully Valve will do likewise :)

Teaching kids how to spell is something schools are meant to do as well as help from parents. Not Steam.

Portuguese and Spanish are two completely different languages. Same as Dutch and German. Or Russian and Bulgarian. Just because they look the same to you does not mean they are. AE and BE on the other hand differ mostlyy through spelling and are perfectly understandable by the other side. A more appropriate example would be Brazillian Portuguese to Standard Portuguese or a French creole to Standard French. But even they have more differences than AE Vs. BE.

And mind you that nearly every game uses AE as well.

Americans taking advice about English from Brits is like Nirvana taking music lessons from Poison. We will screw the language up more just to spite you and we have no interest in talking like you. And it will come out better because of it.

I'd like to see British English too, but it seems unlikely.
Even so, translations seem to weirdly a community driven thing, no harm in trying here I guess: https://translation.steampowered.com/

Pretty funny there, accusing someone of being pathetic while acting pathetic yourself.

It's not economical to add every dialect of every language. You're basically asking them to add in "southern" english as a language option, too.
