Change the name of a language?

Our community will be entirely in English. So when a user creates an account, only one option appears in the language dropdown: "US English".

The problem is that we will have all kinds of English used on our community (not just U.S. English). Is there a way to simply change the way our one language option displays, so that the option is just " English" instead of "US English"? Or better yet, "International English"?

In other words, I'm trying to change this dropdown so that it just says "English".

And I'm trying to change this user profile field, so that it just displays "English" on the profile page, and not "US English".

Is there a way to do this?

    You would need access to your web servers/job servers to make this change.  There is a languages.xml file that defines the languages in each location.

    In that file each language is defined like this:

    <language name="U.S. English" key="en-US" isRightToLeft="false" />

    Changing the name here would make the change everywhere on the site.  The change needs to be made on each web server/job server.
