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');

See above for reason ;-)
and i think we should use MiB instead of MB
You're right.

Probably yes, it should be fixed.

Yes we have to. Do not forget that Wikipedia is also not 100% perfect
source of information.

I don't think so.
why are this in the locale string files?
I had a look at
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9bioctet
and in French, MiB is Mio. For B they suggest o, mentionning also that there is
a risk of confusion with the number 0. So I think I would stay with "octets" for
B, but switch the other ones.
and i think we should use MiB instead of MB
and B instead of Bytes
Yes, in English and in other languages which do not have a language-specific
abbreviation for those.
We could ask translators to check if their translations respect the new units
defined in 1998
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte
but for PMA 2.9.0, ok? :)

Well in Czech there is also translation for byte, but almost nobody
actually uses it.

Without deleting old translation, most won't fix it. And there are some
translations who do not define all units.

Of course ;-)
