[...] kB, MB and GB should be translated to ko, Mo and Go respectively.
Well TBH I've mostly heard people talk about kB, etc. over here.
Not so in France.
And "octet" is a wrong translation for "byte" (although most if not all bytes are 8 bits nowadays) IMO ("octet" also exists in English IIRC) Not sure if we want to perpetuate this confusion, should we?
As I said before there's no confusion here. These applications are all talking about 8 bit bytes. And anyway 'byte' is totally unused in French, at least in France, and non computer scientists would not know what it is. I suggest you also check what is displayed in explorer on Windows or in Nautilus on Linux when running in a French locale. It's ko or kio.
