Dear localization experts, can you please confirm this request? I'm not a native speaker so please indicate better wording if you can.

Bug description:
The term "picking" in OpenERP is used too broadly in OpenERP for logistic experts to understand the concept behind it.
It has been repeatedly reported that "picking" (or actually, "pick list") only relates to gathering goods before they are shipped.

So please :
- change "picking list" for something clearly generic, for example "logistic operation"
- change for something more specific when the context allows it :
  - gathering goods to be sent => "pick list" ( http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4535&view=viewpoll )
  - internal moves => "transfer"
  - outgoing moves to customers => "shipping" or "delivery"
  - incoming moves => "reception"

IMHO this can wait until v6.0 is released but would greatly improve the usability of OpenERP.
Lionel.
