Another problem would probably be that in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112619. I doubt many
translators do calculate a conversion for these numbers. This is
typically something that should be done in code instead, especially
since the information whether to use metric or imperial units is
available in the locale info[1].

In any case, the default should probably be metric, since there's no
doubt that it's more widely used but also what the C locale specifies to
use (No translation == C locale == metric).
