Doesn't sound good.

I was thinking the same thing, I hope the whole thing was designed strictly in metric so that everyone is on the same "screen" so to speak.

Well it better be good. But it's part of the business strategy. These countries are large plane buyers, and often own large stakes in the national airlines. By being involved in the project they are more likely to buy the finished product and other Boeign products like the new 747-800.
