Hello together,

I'm member of the upstream maintenance team of Back In Time [1] a 
rsync-based backup software also present in Debian's repository [2].

The project is quit old and somehow we do have Canadian and British 
English as translation [3], but only 21% and 42% complete (just a little 
more then 300 short strings).
My first impulse is to remove those variants of English because they are 
quit similar to US English which is used as default/source language in 
that project. But I'm not deep enough into that languages to understand 
their differences.

But maybe someone here would like to check the existing and complete the 
translation of these two English variants? Beside I can offer thous to 
my users I'm able to compare them and learn more about their difference. 
It would be great if someone would give it a try [3].

Please let us know if you would like to be named as translator in the 
credits (e.g. about dialog) of the software.

Thanks a lot
Christian
