Bug#598352: Re: Bug#598352: apt: show incorrect size

Hello David,
thanks for your detailed E-Mail. But if I understand you correctly than will you this Unit translate. Is this reasonable? The Unit named kB, MB, or TB, I would make fixed for all language. On the Wikipedia is the Unit like Byte in the most spoken Language the same. 

Example with Byte seen on Wikipedia
(kB)  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte
(kB)  http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte
(kB)  http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/بایت;

This is the same with other characters/letters that can be translate
(кБ)  http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Байт;
and the kB, MB and other are also equal. When you set this Unit Name fixed you can translate the letter and this can understand and read in other language. 

I hope you can understand me, my english is not the best.

Best regards

Aldo Beyrodt
