Units in units.xml [1] currently can't be translated.
This was OK as long as all units were actually SI units and therefore used their international unit symbol (everything else ism't actually visible anywhere in Inscape anyway as far as I'm aware of).
However a recent change [2] introduced two new radial units: The "gradian" and the "turn".
- Both of them are not SI units!
- The "gradian" has a common unit symbol ("gon") which is not used, though. Instead the totally misleading "grad" is used (in German this is for example the exact translation for "degree")
- The "turn" does not have a common unit symbol at all (therefore without translation this unit is totally unusable)!
Therefore this bug needs basically two decisions:
1. Do we offer a possibility to translate units.xml? Then such ambiguities can be resolved by proper translation.
2. Do we simply drop the two units? They are very uncommon anyway and (at least the "turn") can't be reasonably used without translation. Then we could probably do without translation.
