English term or phrase: 21" W (53cm) x 12" H (30cm)
Mon texte est pour le Canada. Je crois qu'il vaut mieux utiliser le système métrique, et les "inches" entre parenthèse? Mon client est très à cheval sur les normes, donc ce qui m'aiderait, c'est de savoir exactement comment formuler ces mesures en Français pour le Canada.
merci beaucoup.

Explanation:
is all you need to be correct. See plenty of examples in Google too.
I agree that centimeters should be more prominent than inches in this case (in fact, for me, in EVERY case!)
