As far as that goes, so is Fahrenheit with either.  It's just a multiplier and 
an offset.

A couple of lines from a simple VB program I have:

     C = (F - 32) * 5 / 9
     F = C * 9 / 5 + 32

If I remember correctly (always questionable anymore) for Kelvin the additional 
constant would be 273.  Maybe not.
