There is unexpected behavior with current OpenOffice.org Japanese. Directly
typing a number followed by one of the unit names does not work appropriately.

  Type      Interpretation
  10mm      10.00センチ
  10cm      10.00センチ
  10pt      10.00センチ
  10in      25.40センチ
  10"       25.40センチ
  10%       0.1
  10ミリ    10.00センチ

Apparently, the translated unit names are ignored while original names are
correctly recognized.

In comparison to Japanese version of OpenOffie.org, English version works well
with such unit names.

So those translations could be reverted to original English one for the better
usability. 

This phenomenon is originally reported by EighthRest in the Japanese community.
