http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/webfinger/current/msg00555.html

RFC 5646 says:

Which seems to apply exactly here (there is nothing US-specific in the
sentence). May be, instead:

"titles" :
           {
               "en-us" : "The Magical Theater of Bob",
               "en-gb" : "The Magical Theatre of Bob",
...
