It's complicated by the fact that different countries use different multipliers for the terms million, trillion, etc. Before my recent Italy / France trip, I was learning some Italian numbers, and the translation for billion in Italian wasn't what I expected, and I then found out that Australia is a "short scale country" while Italy is a "long scale country".
