When I put Spanish or French at the top of the language list in

something wrong here? Am I wrong to assume that a change in
language should change the NSMeasurementUnit value in the
standardUserDefaults as well? I looked inside my
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist and didn't find
the key NSMeasurementUnit at all. I expected to find it with
a value of "Inches".
I'm not sure how Apple intends this to work, but I fail to understand
why the measurement unit should be tied to the UI language selection.
I'm sure that my spanish speaking friends in New York City prefer inches
to centimeters, and I most certainly want to keep centimeters, even
though I may be using english language in my user interface.
It used to be that we had a separate system preference setting for this
(back in the old Openstep days), I'm still hoping for this to be
resurrected at some point in time.
With kind regards
