Forum OpenACS Development: i18n: collect common words in one package?

Hi there,

i have not followed the internationalization work so maybe this has already been done, but what about a collection of common words like name, back, up, down, title, description ... in one of the core packages. I find myself using that words quite often and it seems as this has not been dealt with.

There are some others - the calendar package and (translate.openacs.org seems to be down at the moment)
one of the core packages redundantly define either months or days. Also in dotlrn they use the 16 'nameable' colors, omitting white - as well as a lot of css-ish graphics terminology - that's another cluster of words it would be nice to gather together in one spot.

Yes, and the location is acs-kernel.  I've already added some common interface terms such as Forward and Next and people are translating them (woohoo!).  Let's post common words here and discuss before adding more.
