To make this app more usable internationally, adding a grade conversion option would be helpful. I envision it as a set of drop-downs the user selects on the index page, much like how they can select the unit of measure for distance. It might also make sense to put it in an Advanced drop down area, so as not to clutter the interface initially. Since most of our users are likely to be from the US or use YDS/V-Scale, we can leave that selected by default.
Initially, I think we should add Font grades for bouldering and French for sport/trad. UIAA grades for roped climbing would probably also be easy to add at that time.
In the future, we should add British grades. It could prove to be slightly harder, since it is a dual scale and will likely require special treatment.
If there is demand, we could also add Ewbank grades.
