womaniser > womanizer

It's the normal English spelling. I usually don't use US spellings.

Hello!
Indeed. Sorry, I didn't knew the british variant (and so didn't my PONS dictionary with more than 300.000 entries).
Ciao, Tamy.

Strange enough, but all my English-Russian dictionaries don't mark "womanizer" as an Americanism either.

I noticed before that in Germany and Russia, the reference in English is US. Not for me.

Not sure about Germany, but in Russia most of the generic English<->Russian dictionaries usually mark Americanisms providing the main entry in British English. For example, in my dictionary the entry for "сolor" looks like this:
-----
color
[ˈkʌlə]
амер.; = colour
-----

(амер. = американизм = Americanism)

this is the other way :

colour is British
and
color is US

The same way as behaviour/behavior

Usians tend to simplify spelling, regardless of etymology and pronunciation.
