Research direction

Start with values/strings_settings.xml and inspect how locale resources are handled by the translation pipeline. Find the pref_backup_, pref_category_title_backup, and settings_backup_import_ entries, then ensure they are included for translation in the other locales. Done means the backup/restore strings no longer fall back to English after the next translation update.

Description

task

Library backup/restore (#655) added pref_backup_, pref_category_title_backup and the settings_backup_import_ plurals only in values/strings_settings.xml. The other locales fall back to English. Add them to the translation pipeline the next time translations are done.
