Also mega- in Mandarin?[edit]

Can't it also mean "mega-" in Mandarin, as in 兆赫? The entry says it means that only in Vietnamese. 24.29.228.33 05:35, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it can. Other examples: 兆字节 (megabyte), 兆吨 (megaton). --Anatoli 05:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Added. 71.66.97.228 07:12, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Translingual"[edit]

It appears that 兆 can mean different things in different languages. For example, 兆 or any kanji for that matter is never used to represent an SI prefix in Japanese. Could the translingual format be getting in the way?--Bxj 15:20, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
