While building a matrimonial platform recently, we hit a small but important decision: How should we capture height? Feet or centimetres?

Client’s suggestion was to give both options and let users choose. That’s a complex UI – I said

I proposed something different.

  • Let’s Capture it in centimetres (global standard)
  • And show instant conversion to feet beside the input.

Why? Because the product wasn’t just for India. It was meant for cross-border matchmaking.

So instead of localizing the input, we standardized it and It worked perfectly fine.

Your developers has to help you take right decision today , for your product to scale product globally… otherwise, you should search for better developer.

Do you agree ?
