I want to display products unit of measurement at the frontend. For that I have created weight_unit attribute in admin panel and I am adding it to products like gram, kilogram, liter, etc. But I can't show it at frontend. I use following code to display at frontend: 

<?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('weight_unit'); ?>

Still I am not getting proper show of product unit. Please can anyone suggest me how to show it? Is there any other methods to represent the product unit?

You can use translation method to achieve this. You can find out that in following link.

In this post, translation method and translation CSV files are used to achieve this. You can write your unit of measurement in CSV file and use attribute code in translation method.

For display Weight and Weight unit on Product details page, you need to use the below code :

echo $_product->getWeight().' '.$_product->getAttributeText('weight_unit');

Please make sure Visible on Product View Page on Front-end set to yes for both attributes.
