Hi,

Yes, they are translatable. At least for Cyrillic scripts.

More data for the particular locales can be found here:

http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#locales///

Choose language, then "Units" section.

Example (Ukrainian):

m -> м
km -> км
kmh -> км/год (Not a SI unit btw ;) )

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri
