Polyglots Teams: Incorrect "About the en_US locale" link on locale-specific pages

Description

On the Polyglots Teams pages, when filtering by a specific locale (e.g., ?locale=ca), there is a reference to the en_US locale.

If this is necessary, I imagine it should be dynamic and point to the locale itself.

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=ca (or any other locale).

Observe the text: "About the en_US locale." linking to https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/the-en_us-locale/.

Hi @Marc4
Thank you for your feedback.
Some developers expect that they can use any language in their WordPress theme or plugins, and then use our translation platform to produce a US English translation.
This link is meant for them.

When you provide the "locale" parameter, the dynamic part of this page changes, while the main/general content, which is "fixed" is displayed at the top.

We could simply change this text, for instance by stating "If you were looking for information about en_US, please read the following page". Would that work better?

This is simple page content, so we can discuss this in our Slack channel "polyglots". Therefore I'm closing this ticket here.
