I agree icons should show the rotation.

However Rotate Clockwise (or Counter Clockwise ) is still needed (just "Rotate" is not acceptable)
because icons are not always displayed:
- On OSX by default (although they can be shown, this is an option in Kicad, now)
- On Linux, some WM do not display icons in menus.

Besides, English language is know for its short words and sentences.
Translations are using most of time longer words and sentences, and this is sometimes an issue in menus.
We (translators) have to live with that.
