Sorry if I expressed my meaning in the wrong way, what I want to say is:
declaring England English as unsupported language just because of its
low stat is a bit unfair, since very large portion of the strings are
already shown in correct GB english. And same for en_CA.

For the difficulty in detecting new strings for translation, you're
correct.
