Ooops a typo on my part as well. I meant 'Personalize' rather than 'Pensonalize' obviously.... seems a common problem however. Good spot on the Groove context menu as well...

There are problems like this throughout the system.

Does it repect the "british" spellings anywhere?

I can't say I've ever seen a "Colour" on my English (Australia) system.

This is because you're only selecting your preferred language in the operating system (ie/ global "preference acrosss all applications").

The setting doesn't mean the Operating System has those translations installed. There are a lot of other dialects other than EN-US and the other English variants etc. What about French Canadian? South American dialogs of Spanish? etc. Microsoft could never win - every English speaking country has different nuances in the language.

This is an issue that annoys me too.
Colour NOT Color,
Favourites NOT Favorites,
And so on... Microsoft should respect countries that speak traditional English, and not confuse the children of these countries with conflicting spellings.

@ShadowChaser - let me guess - you are from the US. Next you will be telling us we are speaking English English rather than American English. Its just English! - if the US wants to speak a different version then thats up to them !

If MS are trying to get the product still used by schools, uni's etc then at least spell correctly. I bet all the foreign languages display it correctlty. I am guessing the guys who look after this got lazy on English varients.

That's fussy...
I only knew that Apple did "translate" Mac OS (4 or so was then) from US "Trash" (recycle bin) to "Wastebasket" or so. But I think it's stupid to translate from American to British English just because of some words like "Personalize", "Customize", "color", "Center" etc.

+1!
You mean it says Personalize, not Personalise?
