Consistent naming in localisations

Consistent naming in localisations

In original revit all categories follow the pattern "Catgory Name" and "Category Name Tag". In its German variety, you get a mix of "Category Name", "Annotation to Category Name", "Category Name-Annotation", "Category Nameannotation" and "Category Name-Annotation (Subcategory)". Make this consistent throughout. I would prefer it, if the annotations resembled what they are labeling. While I think just leaving in the English 'Tags' would be fine, this would confuse many Germans and so could become 'Label' which is understood despite it being an English word. The current 'Beschriftungen' is quite long.

 

To illustrate this:

"Flex Pipe Tags" would appear next to "Flex Pipes" whereas their German equivalents "Beschriftungen für flexible Rohre" and "Flexible Rohre" would torn apart in listings.

In French and Spanish localizations they are all named with the same pattern 'Label to category'. While I think that approach is not as good as the American example where the annotations are listed next to their parent category, it is at least consistent. The idea is asking for the same in German.
