Not so in France.

As I said before there's no confusion here. These applications are all
talking about 8 bit bytes. And anyway 'byte' is totally unused in
French, at least in France, and non computer scientists would not know
what it is. I suggest you also check what is displayed in explorer
on Windows or in Nautilus on Linux when running in a French locale.
It's ko or kio.
