antonyY-2	Background of the issue: I have set up Ukraine as United Kingdom on our site. I am trying to edit the language name to United Kingdom in the Edit Languages section and save it. Symptoms: When I save the language name as United Kingdom, it keeps reverting to all the translated versions of Ukraine. Questions: Why does the language name revert to the previous one after saving? How can I successfully change the language name to United Kingdom?

antonyY-2	It was the PHP issue that wouldn't allow the save.
