Forget it, there are no .mo files for en_GB because the English strings are hard-coded into the binaries.

Only very few packages have en_GB translations, only if it would substantially differ from the default strings, and a missing translation is not a bug.

This problem has nothing to do with missing .mo files either. It's a simple shell scripting/quoting bug. Fix:

There is already a report this, so there is no need to report it in bugzilla.
