That's why there was a smiley.

At the moment I don't care how people name the files. And here in
particular it boils down to settings in language.dat, not in
particular filename.

I won't change the name since UK is not the official ISO code. GB
stands for United Kingdom, not for Great Britain (even though it might
not be obvious from the first sight), so according to what you say the
current name matches perfectly.

Here is a citation from Wikipedia:
"As a consequence, for example, the United Kingdom is officially
assigned the alpha-2 code GB rather than UK, based on its official
name "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" (although
UK is reserved on the request of the United Kingdom)."
