Metric/Imperial

Suggestion

In the extra results tab, instead of basing the unit system on the language used, use the conventions of the country selected.

What happens:

Note the bottom result states "28 inches" even when the country is set to France.

Hi, I just created a bug internally. We'll tackle this, thanks

This may not be easy, e.g. Britain can be confusing, because we can use both metric and imperial measures, for different contexts and products. For science and engineering the measures are generally metric. Some electronics are measured in inches, because the parts were made by US corporations. Also, some US and British imperial measures appear to differ.

It may be useful to be able to optionally override the language/locale for some kinds of unit, like the compromise used by some smart gadgets, like bicycle speedometers and weather stations.

I think this is a too complex option, which we likely won't develop. We want the calculator to remain a simple tool for everyone.
