Literally no English squeaking country uses the British long scale anymore. It was nonsensical and problematic. The US short scale has been adopted as the English standard in every country on earth for the purpose of English measurement.
So if a country even if their native language is not English. When using English for official reasons uses the short scale. It’s only when using non English languages does the old long scale get used. Which is mostly a relic of British imperialism.
Even then a number of countries have started using us short scale even in their native language.
Us short scale is simpler and more understandable. It’s the same reason countries use metric. It makes more sense.
