byte units are international, or not?
They are, but can be written differently:
$ grep byteUnits lang/*utf* | grep -v EB lang/arabic-utf-8.inc.php://$byteUnits = array('بايت', 'كيلوبايت', 'ميجابايت', 'غيغابايت'); lang/belarusian_cyrillic-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array('Б', 'КБ', 'МБ', 'ГБ', 'ТБ', 'ПБ', 'ЭБ'); lang/bulgarian-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array('байта', 'КБ', 'МБ', 'ГБ', 'ТБ', 'ПБ', 'ЕБ'); lang/finnish-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array('tavua', 'kt', 'Mt', 'Gt', 'Tt', 'Pt', 'Et'); lang/french-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array('Octets', 'Ko', 'Mo', 'Go', 'To', 'Po', 'Eo'); lang/hindi-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array(' बैट्स', ' केबी', ' एमबी', ' जीबी','टीबी','पीबी','ईबी'); lang/mongolian-utf-8.inc.php://$byteUnits = array('Байт', 'кБ', 'МБ', 'ГБ'); lang/persian-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array('بايت', 'كيلوبايت', 'مگا بايت', 'گيگا بايت', 'ترابايت', 'پتا بايت', 'اگزا بايت'); lang/russian-utf-8.inc.php://$byteUnits = array('Байт', 'кБ', 'МБ', 'ГБ'); lang/serbian_cyrillic-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array('бајтова', 'КБ', 'МБ', 'ГБ', 'ТБ', 'ПБ', 'ЕБ'); lang/thai-utf-8.inc.php:$byteUnits = array('ไบต์', 'กิโลไบต์', 'เมกกะไบต์', 'กิกะไบต์', 'เทอราไบต์', 'เพตตะไบต์', 'เอกซะไบต์'); lang/ukrainian-utf-8.inc.php://$byteUnits = array('Байт', 'кБ', 'МБ', 'ГБ');
why are this in the locale string files?
See above for reason ;-)
and i think we should use MiB instead of MB
You're right.
