Prerequisites
What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe.
Lately Elementor began to translate common web developer terms into native languages.
For example:
Hover: Bei Mauszeigerkontakt (german)
I really understand that you want to reach as many people as possible by providing a translation that they can work with. But as a web developer this is giving me headaches because I can no longer relate to the respective attributes that would be used if you code it yourself.
I mean, even if you are german the code stays the same. (It's a:hover, not a:Bei Mauszeigerkontakt).
Another example was "Button" (which was already reversed to the original).
For a short period of time it was "Schalftläche". Really? Noone's using "Schalftfläche" if they relate to a button.
Latest addition to the family is "Symbol" which is apparently german for "Icon"?
I mean come on, who's working on the translation here?
Describe the solution you'd like
The solution I would like is to revert common web devoloper terms which are actually used in web termonology back to their originals e.g. Button, Hover etc
Describe alternatives you've considered
Changing language per user-account but that's a dumb solution if everyone else in the agency is working in their native language, so communicating gets a lot harder.
