Gimp is using your general system settings for this. Computer systems define a "locale" which is a set of settings telling what language to use for the interface, how to display dates and numbers, what the monetary unit is, what the print paper size is, ... and what the measurement units are.
So to switch to imperial units you have to tell Gimp that you are in the last country that uses imperial units, and its locale is en_US (English-USofA). So, on my Linux:
export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
Lo and behold:
Your local Windows expert will tell you how you can change this setting, just for Gimp or for everything.
Otherwise, Image > Print size will also show the print size, and you can set the unit by yourself.
