I’m just noticing that metre is the correct spelling in English.
Isn’t “meter” the commonly used translation?
I realize it must not be commonly used anyway with the imperial system being used in the US.

“Meter" and “metre” are both correct spellings of the word that refers to a unit of measurement in the metric system:
“Meter” is the preferred spelling in American English, while “metre” is preferred in British English and other forms of English outside the United States.
In India, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (75 to 25). In the Philippines, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (100 to 0). In Canada, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (68 to 32). In Australia, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (68 to 32).
