Change displayed weight from lbs to kilos, or tons, etc?

If weight is displayed the default appears to be pounds, so how do I switch to an alternative weight standard, or will I have to edit one of the files?

:unsure:

using browser go to admin-> tools-> developers toolkit

in the last box on the left type in Lbs then tell it to search catalog/admin

this will give you a list of files and line numbers where this needs to be changed

Damn! And I thought it would be a simple switch somewhere in Admin. that I'd missed.

Oh well, give my eyes a rest for a few hours then back to the strain.

hi just a quick note that this article is missing some info when you search using "lbs" it misses the file

/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones.php

Line #25 : define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'lb(s)');

Re: Changing Weight from Pounds to Kilos
Hi thanks Ryk,
I have changed it to KGs,
to change it u need to modify these files:

/admin/includes/languages/english.php
Line #570 : define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','lbs');

/includes/languages/english.php
Line #376 : define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','lbs');
Line #379 : define('TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT','lbs');

/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones.php
Line #25 : define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'lb(s)');
