I don't know if there's another language where the word for "meter" or "liter" is spelled two ways, but there are languages where large classes of words are spelled in different ways in different places. In Portuguese, words with "ct" and "pt" in Portugal are spelled with just "t" in Brazil (though I've seen "óptico" spelled both ways in Brazil - there are lots of opticians on Belo Horizonte's Avenida Brasil).
