 I meant the translated version.

 I'm not sure about this solution. If it would be dependend on locale
 settings and I would like to create map output in different language than
 in locale settings, is there a way to set language?

 Another problem is that now I can't write czech labels to map because
 latin1 doesn't support some accented characters. And if I understand the
 previous comments well, this problem is not going to be fixed. As a result
 there's no need to have translated units. But users speaking other
 languages (where Latin1 is OK) may appreciate this.

 What about adding the possibility of custom unit label (given by user),
 which would solve the problems with translation and enables to use
 abbreviations (like m, km)?
