There are two keys in NSLocale that indicate which measurement system the user prefers: NSLocaleUsesMetricSystem and NSLocaleMeasurementSystem.

As a "native speaker of the metric system" I'm not really sure what to do with them.

If NSLocaleUsesMetricSystem returns NO can I automatically assume american measurement units (i.e. usage of the statute mile)?


The short answer is yes. I won't bother with the long answer. :-)

What does NSLocaleMeasurementSystem return?

A string (enum-like) representation of the same information. I believe the original thought was there might be choices other than "U.S." and "Metric", but that hasn't happened.
