1. Unit symbols are not all languages. While many countries/languages use the
standard km/h, America uses KPH, and Russia uses км/ч. But I agree that an
other languages fallback would be nice, using English for that (as MediaWiki

would ease the situation a bit, but

I am not perfectly sure what is expected on that from my side.

2. The decision on whether to implement basic
