I think you respond related to the issues ZF-944, ZF-945, ZF-946, ZF-947.
I am not member of the devteam, so the decission itself was not done by me.
Thomas, I dont mean to stir the pot, but like alot of issues that start
on the message board, I didn't know it got transfered to Jira for
tracking and hence didn't track the issue and weigh in, partially b/c
for me it seemed like a no brainer for cleanup.
I think Matt R. has made some great points on naming, which I too am a
bit of a stickler on the namings, at the very least, at the entry point
for individual components. My goal would be to have the most inherent
namings for all the top level components (think of things that get their
own section in the manual.
Related to your question...
Nouns do not translate good in every language, but I am only german
native and do not know the english language very well.
Yeah, I am not aware of how other (spoken) languages handle things like
this, but in english, a Translator is a very common thing.. It seems to
me that if you start using the zend-framework, (and are looking to
translate something), you would ask yourself: "does the zend framework
have a language translator?"

Good list, but again, I stress my qualms are only at the top most levels
of components, not necessarily with every class. The other thing I like
to point out is (while english is not the most pragmatic of languages)
alot of nouns double as verbs, like Measure.. also, things like Rewrite
can be considered an adjective, describing the type of noun Route is...
In summary, I think ultimately the issues brought up in jira represent
cases that could benefit the most from a name change to make the
framework more inherent across the board, and easier to pick up by
newbie zend frameworks.
