Use of international measures (cm instead if in)

Use of international measures (cm instead if in)

It seems not possible to switch to European measurement units (centimeters / millimeters) in Writer. All measures are in inches which is very confusing and unfortunately prevents Writer to be an alternative to off-line word processing software.
 
Is there any possibility to switch to European measures or is this foreseen to be implemented in the future?
 
Thanks in advance for an answer, best regards
