[QGIS-Developer] Override System Locale user interface with American English by Default?

[DelazJ]

Hi,
I'm sure I'm not a particular case: when I'm asked to select a language, I
usually look after the one I'm the most comfortable with and select it. And
in this case, I guess most of pt_PT people seeing their language in the
list will still pick that language, ignoring there are issues with it.

Mathieu there's already a value check: only languages with 35% are pulled
into code base. The issue here is that pt_PT has issues with the quality of
the translated strings.

Regards,
Harrissou
