I'm not sure what "one micron" means and what its micrometer value would be. In a technical translation from English into Spanish, I have to convert US units to International System.
In US texts, "one mil" means 0.001 inches. So 1 micron should not mean 0.000001 inches?
Thank you!

micra
I have never heard of "one milli-inch", but maybe that's a US thing.
As far I'm concerned "one mil" = 1 millimetre = 0.001 m
Similarly "micron" = 1 micrometre = 0.000 001 m
In Spanish it's a "micra"

Reference:
micrómetro, micrón o micra
The micrometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures;[1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American spelling), also commonly known by the previous name micron, is an SI derived unit of length equalling 1×10−6 metre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10−6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch).[1]
El micrómetro, micrón o micra es una unidad de longitud equivalente a una milésima parte de un milímetro. Su símbolo es µm. Su nombre proviene del griego μικρόν (micrón), neutro de μικρός (micrós): pequeño.

Note from asker:
| Entendido. "Microns" (en lengua inglesa) son unidades del Sistema Internacional, mientras que "mils" son unidades del Sistema Anglosajón. Muchas gracias! |
