Wii Fit weight/height measurement problem

I was talking about Wii Fit with a fellow Canadian rebel earlier. In Canada, we use the metric system, so our measuring units are centimeters (cm) instead of inches and kilograms (kg) instead of pounds. Even though his Wii’s country setting is set to Canada, the game still displays the units in in/lbs.

He decided to ask the question on Nintendo’s support forums. It turns out that, if you want your units to be in cm/kg, you need to select your language as either Spanish or French. Why wasn’t the unit system placed as an option in the game? I mean, the entire game is based on weight and height, plus the japanese version uses cm and kg.

What’s up with this, Nintendo?
