 * We have content with product measurements (inches, feet, lbs, etc). When we switch
   to French, there are instances where these are converted to the metric system(
   cm, kg, etc.) but others measurements remain the same imperial measurement (inches,
   feet, lbs). Both instances are coded/defined exactly the same.
 * We would definitely want measurements converted from imperial system to metric
   system when user chooses the language of their preference.
 * Does anyone know to ensure this measurement conversion per language switch?

 * Hi,
 * We do not do conversions.
 * I recommend to add notranslate class to the wrapper elements for measurements,
   so they stay intact. You may also include both metric and imperial measurements
   in your original version for international users.
 * You might be able to do the conversion using custom javascript code and tie it
   to the language selected.
