Please consider that to translate is to transfer meaning and experience from other language. By using foreign measurements, you introduced confusion for readers of Serbian sentence, what wasn't part of the original sentence. Good translation is when you do an extra effort to translate measurements also, so native Serbian speaker can take it easily as the reader of the English sentence can take his. This is not necessary, of course. I am just saying that would be better.I don't do it always, either.
