[Tagging] propose/help to rename a key -

[Peter Wendorff]

Hi.
I only agree with you partially, here.
I agree, that it should not be confusing, wherever possible: A value for 
feature (or class) A should not be identical to the meaning of another 
class B in any local language.
But to use foreign names IMHO is more natural than to encode it in numbers.

regards
Peter
