Naming Glossary
This document standardizes terms used across the Planet console, Earth, backend APIs, and documentation. When adding Chinese UI labels, chart labels, or translated documentation, prefer the Chinese display names listed here to avoid unnecessary mixed Chinese/English copy.
Usage Rules
- Chinese UI should use the Chinese display name.
- API fields, database fields, code identifiers, and external brand names keep their original English or snake_case form.
- On first mention in long-form docs, use “Chinese Display Name (English Term)” when clarification helps; subsequent mentions can use the Chinese display name.
- Industry abbreviations such as BGP, AI, API, URL, ID, TLE, ASN, GPU, and AIS may remain English.
- External service brands keep their official English names, such as PeeringDB, Space-Track, BarentsWatch, AISStream, and GitHub.
