After long discussions with documentation and a lot of research we face the
following situation:
"Mio." is a correct abbreviation in English in business context. In scientific
context "m", "M" and "MM" are used. "Mil." is not an option but "mill." is.
Both are quite uncommon and inexact as they also relate to "mill" which is
thousand.
As "m" also refers to meter and "MM" is quite common in financial context the
remaining options are: "Mio." and "M".
For now I will switch to "M" but will leave the "Mio." string in x11 in case we
want to switch back quickly later.
Btw.: when writing the complete word "million" you usually refer to living
beings :)
The two strings from registration do not appear in openSUSE. They are used for
SLES and went into the code with a merge of branches. I added the alternatives
to the code, but they will most likely not being translated for 11.0 (but they
are not visible anyway anywhere).
Passing on to maintainer of yast2-users.
