>>51839317historically NoE and NoA had different localization teams and processes, it very much depended from game to game. For non-Asian regions, you can basically split them into NTSC (CA/US) and PAL(EU/AUS). Usually for the longest time, youd have either English Localization done by either of the two sides and used for both regions, or done individually. Nowadays iirc localization is done collaboratively between all nintendo regional branches, and they have some good reasons. For a long while, NTSC-U often only had english language options for their releases, which was mostly fine, and for Latin America shit was impossible to get anyway. The exception is ironically Canada, since they have legally require you to have bilingual options for products, so as far as i remember Nintendo Canada would just grab NoE french localizations, but a handful of times they did their own, and a smaller number of times they were done in the Quebec/Acadian Dialect, which is beyond fucked up, and there has been a handful of huge controversies over those localizations
Anyway with Imperial vs Metric and American English spellings, nobody gives a fuck. Canadians understand metric and imperial just fine we grow up learning both, Brits seemingly understand both just fine and they use cursed old ass units Americans dont even use anymore. I think Aus/NZ is a similar case albeit slightly more leaning towards Metric than the UK. Im a leaf, used to both spellings, and while ill spell "colour" I couldnt fucking tell you if im supposed to use grey or gray, i know my height in cm and feet+inches, couldnt tell you my weight in kilograms but have no clue what any farenheit temperature means besides "32 is 0 100 is 40-ish"
tl;dr Commonwealth fuckers are bilingual in American English and Imperial and the French are a mistake
