English (Australian and USA) Language Packs Language

Editor's Note
These are English Australian and USA Joomla! Accredited language packs which includes Site, Administrator and XML install files.

These language packs rectify a Bing search engine region issue which sets Australian and USA Joomla 1.5.x - 1.6.x - 1.7.x - 2.5.x websites in the Great Britain region.

These packs will change your region from en-GB to en-AU OR en-US in your meta header which Bing uses to determine your region code. This is optimal for webmasters that wish to be located in the Australian or USA region.

I appreciate that you made an American version. It's about time joomla finally has it. The only issue was finding it in the joomla code directory, but after searching on google I found it. Well done.
