Indeed. That said, the name "translate" already means something in the
platform—it's used by CSS transforms and by the <canvas> 2D Context API.
Wink's usage of the term matches the existing use of the term on the
platform.
Maybe we should rename the "is this element translatable or not"
attribute to, say, "translatable".
