Hi Helene Minville , 
 I understand that first steps in Trados Studio can be daunting. The positive side is that you can do many things with Trados Studio. 
 Regarding your issue, I think the reason you are getting those matches is explained here:

 If you add in to the list of Measurements in your Source language, it&rsquo;ll be fine. To do so, go to Project Settings > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation , select your TM, press the Settings button and add the word in : 
 
 There is even a way to add your French translation measurement for inches ( po ). It&rsquo;s a bit more complex than just adding the Source measurement,:

 I hope it helps!

My instant thought would be that you have a translation unit in your TM where the final number was not inserted as a placeable. and there it is inserting 23.6po instead of 15.7po) You could search your TM with a regex to find all units that match the target formatting. Should the decimal separator be a point "." or a comma ","? Hope that might help.
