Change term "生命週期" to “生命期“ or else

[weihanglo]

I feel a bit astray about the translation of the term "lifetime", which means from birth to death of a resource. However, currently we choose 生命週期, which implies "cycle" for the word "週“, and the directly translation of 生命週期 to English is "lifecycle" but not "lifetime". I propose to change the translation to "生命期" or other better alternative. Thanks.

Indeed, I agree with you that 生命週期 should be equal to "lifecycle".
Just searched lifetime on 國家教育研究院雙語詞彙、學術名詞暨辭書資訊網; it seems it can be translated as 壽命 as well but 生命期 is also good for me 👀

Maybe I will vote for 生命期 for the translation in rust.

No preference for this frome me. If 生命期 is more preferred, we could update it right away.

We did a simple poll in the community and the result lead us to keep the term "生命週期“. Close now. Thanks!
