| Traditional/technical phrase | Replacement in OpenKeychain | Comment |
|------- |---- |--- |
| User ID | Identity | |
| Key ID | - | Don't mention key IDs, they serve no purpose, see https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/wiki/OpenPGP-Security#key-ids-arent-displayed |
| Passphrase | Password | People don't know what a passphrase is, but they know passwords. Renaming passwords to passphrases doesn't help to increase their strength. |
| Public/private key | Key | Don't try to explain the concept of public key cryptography. People don't want to know it, it should work seamlessly |
| Sign/Certify key | Confirm key | Key signing makes no sense without knowing public key crypto. Certify is more appropriate, but also difficult to understand. |
| Cache password | Remember password | Cache is technical language
| Keyserver | Cloud | The word keyserver is only used in OpenKeychain's preferences
