Looks good.  I don't have time to do anything for this.  As a general
comment though based on feedback from KDE translators rule 1) should
be to respect your upstream, don't change what upstream has
translated.  

Secondly a primary function of en-gb translation should be as
proofreading for applications.  When you come across a typo it should
be noted on a wiki page in a style similar to this one and sent
upstream in batches.

Finally I'd disagree with the translations suggested for disk, plugin
and program which are all generally accepted as is (except for a
timetable programme).
