    It says: "en-ipa". The ISO standards don't define the languages, but
    Ethnologue (which is what most people rely on, I think) defines "en" as
    the language spoken in the UK. No _English_ dialect pronounces fox as
    /fɑks/! (Or "data" as [dæta].)
    At least put en_US-ipa, but even then that's unfair to a number of
    American dialects.
