Get_locale

Has anyone noticed that the local for the US is now en-US?

Or is this a setting I missed somewhere?

Yes, I did. They went from 2 bytes to 5 bytes long. It's part of Google's move to support Internationalizations. You'll also notice that os_language is also changed (and it might be wrong, too).

6.0.1099 on the PC and 6.0.1077 on the Mac.

Strange things actually.
On a PC with Windows XP in French, Sketchup v6.0.277, I get the following:
Sketchup.get_locale --> "FR"
Skectup.os_language --> "EN" (so two characters only).

On another laptop, with Windows XP US International version and Sketchup v6.0.515, I get:
Sketchup.get_locale --> "EN"
Skectup.os_language --> "EN" (so two characters only).

So this new behavior you report seems pretty recent.
