Agreed - the multipliers with no units would be very, very nice, and should be
relatively simple to do – it's just a number format replacing 'E+03' with 'k',
etc.
This is especially so, compared to the potentially massive undertaking
involving unit verification between cells, which could end up sprawled all
over.
--- To answer the questions asked originally ---
- a list of multiplier (k, M, G, T, P,..., m, µ, n, p, f...) is necessary, as
well as their equivalent in all language (non-latin)
The list is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix in the box at right;
we'd leave out those that are not integer powers of 1000.
If this moves forward, I can gather the values for Russian, Chinese, Japanese,
and perhaps Zulu by asking relevant friends and relatives who are scientists
and native speakers of those languages.
Past that, what process is usually taken for internationalizing new text?
- what should be displayed if value is higher than 1000 times the largest
multiplier?
- what should be displayed if value is less than 1/1000 times the smallest
multiplier?
Fall back on numeric engineering notation with no prefix if less than 10^-18 or
as large as 10^21.
The other questions do not apply to this simpler feature, as it's just a
display format.
