ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Can confirm.

"250m2" displays conversions, but "250ft2" does not.
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2021-03-03 18:23:52 UTC 
Probably an easy fix: kunitconversion has "m2" as an alternative for square meter but not "ft" in square feet. (Be mindful of the translation freeze)
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-03-03 19:07:24 UTC 
Maybe you can help Johannes submit a merge request to fix it? Johannes, would you be interested?
