What's *wrong* with "Load Distributed Checkpoint", which is what we've been calling it for 6 months?
One issue was that "distributed" has some association with distributed computing, which isn't actually the case. "Spread" is also more descriptive of what actually ended up being committed. Those are fairly subtle wording issues that I wouldn't necessarily expect to survive translation.
The other problem was that the original description over-sold the feature a bit. It said "prevent I/O spikes" when it actually just reduces them. Still possible to have a spike, it probably won't be as big though. Your call on whether correcting that mischaracterization is worth bothering the translators over.
