    "associated to" or "asssociated with"?

    "associated to" or "asssociated with"?

    Comment
    I"m editing a piece in English written by a friend, a Luxembourger. He went to university in England, and is fluent in English.

    He is using the phrase "associated to". In my opinion this phrase is wrong, and the correct phrase is "associated with". But it's possible that this is a difference between BE and AE. So before I correct it, I want to check with the British speakers here: is "associated to" used in BE?

    Thanks.

    I would say "with", but an example would be nice.

    I'd also say "with" - phrasal verb, can't think of any examples where I'd use "to".

    "be associated with sth
    — phrasal verb with associate /əˈsəʊ.si.eɪt/ US /-ˈsoʊ-/ verb [T]
    If problems or dangers are associated with a particular thing or action, they are caused by it: The cancer risks associated with smoking have been well documented."
    (Definition of be associated with sth from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary & Thesaurus © Cambridge University Press)
