[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Missing American English localization (Issue #4975)

[Minh Nguyễn]

That’s a reasonable request, considering the lack of an en-CA, en-NZ, en-IN, etc. so far. However, I don’t know that it’s possible to totally avoid dialectal terminology. Some terms like _chemist_ versus _drugstore_ will be confusing and surprising to someone either way. The most we can do is to avoid gratuitously regional turns of phrase, especially legal terms that are tied to a particular jurisdiction regardless of the dialect spoken.

If there were some other place to put an American English localization, we could do whatever we want with the main English one, but unfortunately that isn’t the current situation.
