They certainly are.
One or more of you folks from India ought to think about building some Indian-English translations as well. After all, 'Indlish' is spoken by probably three or four times as many people as English-English. Whilst UK, American and Indian English are still mutually comprehensible (well, just about) they are certainly diverging quite a bit. I couldn't quantify it but I'd say that Canadian and Oz/NZ English are much closer to UK.
Remember the old linguists' joke - a language is a dialect with an army.
