I agree, just like exotic words that are wildly accepted (eg. Umami, Zen), they're handy.
Though, people might not know the word Biaomei at all and get confused by the codebase: people know the word "Umami" because Japanese food is popular; people know the word "Mujahideen" because they come from political events and news. I wonder what would lead them to Biaomei...
- skissane 5y agoIf I was writing this code, I would have put something like this in the doc comment: > The label for the familial relationship expressed by the Mandarin term biao mei, meaning the contact's mother’s sibling’s younger daughter or the contact's father’s sister’s younger daughter. This label variable will also store the name for that concept in Chinese language varieties other than Mandarin. If the identical concept is found in a non-Chinese culture, this label variable will store the name for that concept in the language of that culture. If they looked up "CNLabelContactRelationBiaoMei" in the documentation and saw the above description, I don't think anyone would be confused.
