Measurements

You should translate measurement units but do NOT convert measurement amounts.
All measurement units need to be written in the same format as the source (acronym vs. spelled out version). Please use the appropriate acronym confirmed by online or other resources, including the website sokr.ru, preceded by a non-breaking space.

Some examples of measurement units in Russian: 5 м, 10 л, 15 кг, 25 ºC, 100 ºF

For additional information regarding measurements, please check the specific instructions of each project:

     Currencies

You should translate currency units but do NOT convert currency amounts. Currencies may be spelled out (евро, долларов—always in lowercase), abbreviated (долл. США) or represented by a symbol. The symbol typically goes after the amount (5000 $, with a non-breaking space in the middle).
