I don't think translation is a topic suitable for that list, but I think
those who know about the JOSM translation system are more likely to be
there and not aware of what's happening in talk@
It terms of the actual tag in the OSM data...
Although many people make suggestions, it's not good to change "in-use"
tags in OpenStreetMap. You can't know who is using the data in what ways
and what could break as a result. You also have to make everyone change
their tagging habbits at the same time, and they may not be aware of a
discussion to change the tag.
If there is potential confusion(I can see how in this case) then it is down
to editors (and translations of editors) to sort that out. For example,
Potlatch uses pictures and you don't need to know what the actual tag text
is.

<pre wrap="">Hello, i'm an Italian osmer
on talk-it we are thinking there is an issue with amenity=bicycle_rental
preset in josm
the problem is about translation: we want to translate
amenity=bicycle_rental preset as "Stazione del Bike Sharing" (bike
sharing docking station) ,
but on the launchpad translation page [1] we see that bicycle_rental is
translated in a group together with car rental and motorcycle rental, so
we cannot change the translation for bicycle_rental only
we want to make a different translation of amenity=bicycle_rental
preset, to avoid the common situation of users mapping a shop/place
renting bikes, as amenity=bicycle_rental instead of shop=bicycle +
service:bicycle:rental=yes
any possible solutions?
thank you.
ps:some people is also complaining with the tag (amenity=bicycle_rental)
and want to propose to change in something like amenity=bike_sharing or
something like that, that avoid misunderstanding but maybe is more
complicated
