Localization is a process, it involves the whole product, so it's not
appropriate to use it on just one string.
I think that translation or translate is the right term.
And I think that a noun is better, for consistency. We're describing what's
inside the macro (or what comes out of it), not what the macro does:
messageSender, column, chart, livetable...
-1 for abbreviations, even though this one will be used more often than the
other macros, it's always a good idea to stay away from very short names.
We wouldn't use abbreviations in our Java API method names, would we?
So, +1 for {{translation}}.
