[* NumberWithUnit] Unit should be normalized and not language dependent

[RomainWilbert]

using french language, "20 kilometres" resolves to [ value = 20, unit = "Kilomètre" ]
using english language, "20 kilometers" resolves to [ value = 20, unit = "Kilometer" ]

Shouldn't the units be normalized using international/imperial system of units (km, mi, Euro, USD...) or at least have same constants for all languages ? This would be easier for conversions and data process.

Hi @RomainWilbert,

thanks for the feedback. Users had previously requested to have the "localized unit name" in the response.

But we agree that a standard/normalized unit name is very useful in many scenarios and we plan to also have a separate field for the SI unit (or equivalent).

Currency is the first unit to have it. English Currency already has isoCodes for the units (USD, EUR, etc).
Other languages are coming soon, followed by other units.

Any contributions are also greatly welcome! :-)
