Working on a software development project at work to add additional localization values in our program. I need to translate several text instances from English to Spanish, French, German, and Chinese. That being said, there are several spots where we append units of measure after a configured value (ex. “Timeout: 50ms”). Do abbreviations like “ms” and “sec” have translations in the languages that I mentioned? Or are the English abbreviations generally used/understood globally?
