### Problem
As discussed in [this forum thread](https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/admin-level-boundary-naming-on-osm-org-and-translation/123358/19) the current naming scheme for boundaries is a peculiar mishmash of terminology from different English speaking countries that actually applies to none at all. This not only results in weird names for boundaries in English, but inconsistency in translation of the website, as some communities try to rectify this on their own, or have conflicting translations for English terminology.
### Description
I propose that these are reverted to generic terminology, perhaps based on pure admin_level number, until a more appropriate solution on a per country basis can be implemented. Minh Nguyen has proposed [one such solution](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/bdcd9ce35c71c0cf1b485dfb0a11ea54a01f057b/config/locales/en.yml#L1440-L1450), albeit as part of his larger proposal to convert the site to American English by default, with which I disagree.
