But in fact "Transliterator" is much more confusing than "BreakIterator". In fact, the name "Transliterator" is an ICU artifact of the past, that module is now called "Text Transformation" as it provides a generic text transformation API, not specifically for transliteration. -- Gustavo LopesSo would you have RuleBasedBreakIterator renamed IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator too?...Ideally we would yes, while they are less common and less aimed to be seen as part of another API.I find it very hard to believe that "BreakIterator" is "a very common name", but I'm open to evidence that points otherwise. This argument could maybe be made for 'Transliterator', which was added in 5.4.Transliterator is not confusing as "BreakIterator", sorry.
