Our docs are localized into as many as 30 languages, so we're very
sensitive to this. As to units of measure, we *always* include both
standard U.S. and metric. Makes it easier all-around, and also makes
sure that the translators don't introduce a possible conversion error.
For example:
1. Use a 1/4 in. (12.7 mm) open-end wrench to remove the nut
securing the widget.
As part of the localization process, our translators will flip the
measurements, putting metric first and the U.S. values in parens as
appropriate for the destination language.
