This topic was covered by Ryan in https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2012-January/msg00095.html : "TL;DR: If you disagree with how something is written in the English string, please file a bug against the relevant component. Never use translation as a way to 'fix' bugs or change something that you disagree with." So please translate MB as MB and MiB as MiB.
