 Inside `edit-tags.php` and `edit-tag-form.php` label values for term names
 and descriptions cannot be changed. They can be translated, but that's it.

 I propose to add filters to these so that we can change the names of the
 labels in a specific taxonomy of our liking.

 Something like

 {{{#!php
 <div class="form-field form-required term-name-wrap">
         <label for="tag-name"><?php echo apply_filters(
 "{$taxonomy}_term_name_label", _x( 'Name', 'term name' ) ); ?></label>
         <input name="tag-name" id="tag-name" type="text" value=""
 size="40" aria-required="true" />
         <p><?php _e( 'The name is how it appears on your site.' ); ?></p>
 </div>

 }}}


 The new filter

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 apply_filters( "{$taxonomy}_term_name_label", string $name_label )
 }}}

 would allow developers to change these if they have a specific purpose for
 taxonomies. For instance, you are building a feature where you need many
 to many relationships, like books and authors, and books are custom post
 types, while authors are terms in `author` taxonomy. Just having a 'Name'
 is lacking a bit, because you want to put the author's full name (name and
 surname) as the name of the term.

 The same would be for the description and info notices below them. So in
 total 4 filters:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 apply_filters( "{$taxonomy}_term_name_label", string $name_label )

 apply_filters( "{$taxonomy}_term_name_info", string $name_label )

 apply_filters( "{$taxonomy}_term_description_label", string $name_label )

 apply_filters( "{$taxonomy}_term_description_info", string $name_label )
 }}}

 I'll prepare a patch for this.
