I've noticed books are translated between British English and American English, and foreign books are translated into both languages. Are books translated into Canadian English as well, and if so, are they metric?

Hmm, I've never noticed... but most of the books I buy are published in the States.

It is, Sepi. It came to mind while reading an American Murakami where Fahrenheit and Miles are used :)

Perhaps they would add famous phrase "EH" billion times :-) (pronounced AY)

Probably some printings, but not many. Also, in reality Canadians use both metric and imperial.

no,(with the exception of Canadian authoured books, ie Life of Pi, Margaret Atwood) because for the most part Canadian English is in sync with British English, except for minor colloquialisms the grammar is the same. Sorry for the tardy response I was working for once, like really working :)
