Error,

Not to further confuse you but here in the U.S. if we want you to intercept the localizer but we don't want you to fly the glideslope we will use the following phraselogy:

"Cessna 123 turn left heading 050 intercept the 2 Left localizer and track it inbound, maintain 4000".

The above is usually used when I'm also vectoring someone else onto the localizer in front of you, and I'm maintaining vertical separation between the two of you, until both of you are established on the localizer, or the in trail spacing is established where I can then clear you for the approach. I will go back to you using "Cessna 123, eight miles from DOBBS cleared ILS runway 2 Left." which clears you to descend and fly the glide slope.
