birdM	Background of the issue: I am trying to set up the GB language on my site hidden link. The customer requested that the subdirectory be labeled as /uk rather than /gb-en. Since we couldn't change the country code, we used the Ukrainian language and rebranded it to display as English, allowing us to set the directory as /uk. We turned off automatic translations and mapped it so it doesn't point to a language. Symptoms: Some strings have started to translate into Ukrainian, even though we've turned off automatic translations. Questions: Is there any way to prevent these strings from updating to Ukrainian in the future?

Symptoms:
Some strings have started to translate into Ukrainian, even though we've turned off automatic translations.

Questions:
Is there any way to prevent these strings from updating to Ukrainian in the future?
