It may be just me, but I always carry a metric converter.

Some tourists from Sweden were quite surprised when, after viewing some real estate 'for sale' signs, they asked "What are 'acres'" & I whipped out my trusty calculator!

 Impies on
 planet temporarily will simply ask "what's that in
 real units?"

 And unless they are in the starport
 district, they are as going to get the same reception as a
 tourist in Manhattan who asks the average American on a
 street corner, "95 Fahrenheit, huh?  What's that
 in 'real units'?" 
 If readily available conversion apps
 are available, it is far less hassle for the visitor to do
 the conversion themselves.  When in Rome, and all that
 ...
 Cheers,KB.
