My system is running Windows 10 with all settings for US English. During installation of 5.2.0-beta2, in the list of Dictionaries, only en\_GB was auto-selected and en\_US was not. Is that expected? I see this note in the [announcement for v5.2.0-beta2](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/gramps-v5-2-0-beta2-released/4070) and wondering if it’s related?

- Fix system locale detection on MS Windows.

Thanks.
