GURPS german is metric, most other german translations I know are metric, though I play most of my games using the english books. I don't think anyone would accept a non-metric game here in germany - there are not many who can "translate" feet, inch and miles to metric "on the fly".
In the portuguese translation of d&d 3.5 they used metric system. 5 feet = 1.5 Meters. Some years later, Wizards of the Coast made a conversion available on the net, using 5 feet = 2 meters ;-)
When we play, we like to stick to the metric system... When i tell my players that the monster is ( meters away... everyone know what distance im talking about. when i say 30 feet, they need to stop and make the calc... this is simple maths, but thats 2m seconds are enough to take away from the game.

Or "paces". Then all you have to worry about is halfling-to-human-to-ogre conversions, rather than metric-to-imperial.

Half-pace, standard pace, and great pace?

Don't forget the bastard pace.

And, of course, the hasty pace for fleeing and the inebriated pace for the way home from the tavern.

It's almost like we need a... a ministry of some sort to keep track of all these silly paces.
