We\u2019re well acquainted with the differences in the measuring systems used in Europe, the UK and the USA \u2014 but rarely hear about those in the continent of Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Our translators come across measurement unit vocabulary almost every day, and as professionalism requires, they have to be aware of all the quirks and peculiarities of Asian measurement systems in order to do their jobs properly.<\/p>\n<h2>Units of measurement in Asian countries<\/h2>\n<p>Almost all of the countries in Asia have adopted the metric system as their system of measurement ever since it became global, hence more practical. However, you might be surprised by how many of them still keep and actively use their traditional systems of measurement too!<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>tsubo<\/strong> (\u576a) is a unit measuring an area of 3.3m\u00b2 used in Japan. This is the square area covered by two tatami mats put side by side. It\u2019s commonly used when discussing land pricing. Another commonly used traditional unit of measurement when describing room size is <strong>jo<\/strong> (\u7573), which is the size of one tatami mat. When speaking about clothing sizes, the Japanese don\u2019t have a special system \u2014 but as a rule, their clothes tend to be on the smaller side when compared to most clothes in the US or the UK. Just some friendly advice to keep in mind if you go on a shopping spree while in Japan!<\/p>\n<p>In Korea, <strong>cheokgeun-beop<\/strong> (\ucc99\uadfc\ubc95; \u5c3a\u65a4\u6cd5) is the traditional system of measurement. The base unit of Korean area measurement is the <strong>pyeong<\/strong> (\ud3c9), equivalent to about 3.158 m\u00b2. The base Korean unit when measuring weight is the <strong>gwan<\/strong> (\uad00), usually considered as equivalent to 600 grams. Volume is measured by the Korean <strong>doi<\/strong> (\ub418), which amounts to nearly 2 litres.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea signed the Meter Treaty in 1959, and nominally adopted the metric system, but a 2006 study found that 88% of real estate companies and 71% of jewelers in 7 major markets were still using the pyeong and don \u2014 after which the government decided to simply criminalize any further commercial use of traditional units.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9865\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/measuring-system-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Measuring System\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/>China has had its own system of standard weights and measures for thousands of years. For measurements of distance up until the Early Zhou dynasty, a complex mix was used, similar to the imperial mishmash of inch, foot, yard, rod and chain. In 1912, the progressive government decided to end this confusion by aligning the traditional system of weights and measures to the international S.I. system. The conversion factors introduced were as follows: <strong>2 li<\/strong> (\u91cc) = 1 kilometer, <strong>15 mu<\/strong> (\u4ea9) = 1 hectare, <strong>1 sheng<\/strong> (\u5347) = 1 liter and <strong>2 jin<\/strong> (\u65a4) = 1 kilogram.<\/p>\n<p>Moving along, we reach Thailand, where the metric system was officially introduced by a law passed on the 17th of December 1923. However, old Thai units are still in common use, especially for measurements of land \u2014 which is often quoted using the traditional Thai system of <strong>wha<\/strong> (\u0e27\u0e32), <strong>ngaan<\/strong> (\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19) and <strong>rai<\/strong> (\u0e44\u0e23\u0e48).<\/p>\n<p>1 rai equals to 1600m\u00b2. In the provincial areas, old-timers will occasionally use the traditional Thai system of weights and measurements.<\/p>\n<p>In Vietnam, some of the traditional unit names have been repurposed as metric units, such as th\u01b0\u1edbc for the meter, while other traditional names remain in the translations of imperial units, such as d\u1eb7m Anh for an English mile.<\/p>\n<h2>Confused due to the wide variety?<\/h2>\n<p>We bet that you couldn\u2019t remember all of the units we\u2019ve listed above. The good news is, you don\u2019t have to! Professional translators have eagle eyes and are specially trained and instructed on interpreting the entirety of this colorful mix of measuring systems. Asia&#8217;s tendency of keeping the tradition alive \u2014 even with measurement units \u2014 it\u2019s unquestionably beautiful, but it also makes the job of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stopasia.com\/blog\/can-translators-be-trained\/\">translator<\/a> such that if they don\u2019t do it completely right, they might as well have done it completely wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Measurement units in the translation industry We might not pay a lot of attention to doing so, but we use vocabulary that relates to measurement very often in both our daily speech and official communication.
