Unités binaires
We often see mistakes in the binary units in French, for example, things such as:
Kbit (the abbreviation for kilo should be k not K),
Mbits/s (Mbit/s is correct, the plural s is not used)
Gbps (Gbit/s is correct, Gbps is the English version)
GB translated Gb (Go is correct, bits and bytes are different)
The following table should be enough in most cases:
| English | English long | French | French long | Remark |
| b | bit | bit | bit | Bit values are 1 and 0 |
| kb | kilobit | kbit | kilobit | A kilobit is 1,024 bits |
| Mb | megabit | Mbit | mégabit | A megabit is 1,024 kilobits |
| Gb | gigabit | Gbit | gigabit | A gigabit is 1,024 megabits |
| Tb | terabit | Tbit | térabit | A terabit is 1,024 gigabits |
| B | byte | o | octet | A byte is 8 bits |
| kB | kilobyte | ko | kilooctet | A kilobyte is 1,024 bytes |
| MB | megabyte | Mo | mégaoctet | A megabyte is 1,024 kilobytes |
| GB | gigabyte | Go | gigaoctet | A gigabyte is 1,024 megabytes |
| TB | terabyte | To | téraoctet | A terabyte is 1,024 gigabytes |
| kbps | kilobit per second | kbit/s | kilobit par seconde | |
| Mbps | megabit per second | Mbit/s | mégabit par seconde | |
| Gbps | gigabit per second | Gbit/s | gigabit par seconde | |
| Tbps | terabit per second | Tbit/s | térabit par seconde | |
| kBps | kilobyte per second | ko/s | kilooctet par seconde | |
| MBps | megabyte per second | Mo/s | mégaoctet par seconde | |
| GBps | gigabyte per second | Go/s | gigaoctet par seconde | |
| TBps | terabyte per second | To/s | téraoctet par seconde |
