Not the most useful thing in the world if one lives outside the US. The 'conversions' offered to me where: 450 g is "450 Grams" and "0.45 kilograms" Yea ok.

- sp332 4y agoIt's location-based, right? (Hopefully!) Try: 2 pounds.
- tylerchr 4y agoHeh, that gives “2.49 US dollars,” before the expected 907.18 grams.
- francisjpo 4y agoTry with 2 lb. Pound is for money. Libra pondo is for weight.
- kccqzy 4y agoIt now says 2.50 US dollars. The exchange rate updates in real time?
- philsnow 4y agoOn mine you can keep scrolling to the right and I see “0.99 lbs”.
- zamnos 4y agoIf you're outside the US, you can select 0.99 lbs above and see what it is in metrics units. Weirdly though, 99 lbs doesn't offer a conversion.
- morgunkorn 4y agoI get 44 906 g | 44.91 kg using the text in your reply, maybe it's a contextual thing?
- selectodude 4y agoWorked perfectly for me.
- dschuler 4y agoSee Settings -> General -> Language & Region Conversions will be into your preferred units set there.
- jurip 4y agoNot really, or it has some pretty weird ideas about preferred units in my region. When trying to get a conversion for 1 cup, it tells me it's 0.5 pints. My region is Finland, language is Finnish, and roughly no-one understands those units.
- lstamour 4y agoWeird. I’m in Canada and I see the following when I select “1 cup”: 0.24 L | 23.66 cL | 236.59 mL | 236.59 cm^3 | 0.0625 gal | 0.5 pt | 0.25 qt | 8 fl oz | 16 tbsp | 48 tsp | 0.00836 ft^3 | 14.44 in^3 My “measurement system” under language and region in settings is set to “Metric”. Perhaps yours is incorrectly set to “UK”? I’m also running iOS 16.5 beta, if it helps.
- codetrotter 4y agoSimilarly I am on iOS 16.2 and have measurement system set to metric, my region to Norway, and my main preferred language to English. I see the following: 0,24 l | 23,66 cl | 236,59 ml | 236,59 cm^3 It’s using comma as decimal because the number format is set as 1 234 567,89 as is default for region Norway. It’s weird that mine shows the symbol for litres as a lowercase L and not as an uppercase L though.
- jonsen 4y agoBoth of 'l' and 'L' are acceptable as unit abbreviations for litre: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-SI_units_mentioned_in_the_SI https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-SI_units_mentioned_in_th...
- newaccount74 4y agoThe metric conversions are idiotic. Converting "1 cup" to 5 decimal places is misleading, and offering alternatives in l / cl / ml (with a capital ell??) is useless. The addition of cm^3 is the cherry on top :) This was clearly designed by someone who has never used the metric system. A human would convert it to "1/4 liter" or "250ml". Edit: Actually, a human would convert "1 cup of flour" into "150g flour", since most local recipes use weight instead of volume for solids. Which shows that good localisation is a lot more than just literal translation + unit conversion.
