Description
We'd like to add aliases for the trans
and blocktrans
template tags which do not have connotations to the transgender community. An initial proposal would be to add translate
and blocktranslate
as aliases.
I've created https://github.com/django/django/pull/11500 as a starting point with a focus on minimizing changes to the Django code initially. Depending on people's thoughts, we're happy to do the work if people would prefer these to be the defaults throughout the codebase.

Well, it isn't too hard to imagine the mental associations created by "block trans" for someone who identifies as "trans", even if it's just a synonym.

Thanks for the effort you made by bringing the subject on the discussion list. Looks like there is good support for this idea.
Only the blocktranslate
vs translateblock
variant looks still undecided.

I've added a pull request at https://github.com/django/django/pull/11811 which switches to these by default (but still maintains support for the previous ones). I think that blocktranslate
is better as that is closer to what people will be looking for if they are familiar with the blocktrans
tag.

I really don't see what negativity does the current
trans
tag bring. I would have understand if the
trans
template tag function was in any way related to human gender thematic. In this case, it's just some random synonymity without any bad connotation, in my opinion.
If you disagree, you may discuss it on the django-developers mailing list first.
