US-centric field names

[missmatsuko]

Description

There's a couple naming choices in Commerce that are very specific to the US. I'm not sure if this is standard practice for eCommerce systems, but I find it a bit confusing, especially when we're serving countries other than the US.

e.g.

1. zipCode - A ZIP Code is a postal code used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) [Wikipedia]. I think a more generic term would be "Post Code", "Postal Code", or perhaps "Address Code". Calling this field zipCode makes me think that there could be ZIP validation on it.
2. stateName, stateText - A lot of countries don't use states, and may use provinces or districts or other region names instead. Even US addresses may have States, Districts, Territories, and maybe other non-State "States". I think a generic term that's often used is "Administrative Area".

Thanks for the feedback. Will look to improve this.

Just realized that the labels for address fields should already be translated.

You can you static translations (and pass in the commerce category). Info here: https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/static-translations.html#prep-your-messages

It's not really just the labels/translations. Naming the field zipCode is confusing because it seems like it's expecting an actual valid ZIP code, rather than any type of postal code.

It makes sense to make the labels generic, unless it's for a store that serves only one country.

Hi @missmatsuko

This would be a large breaking change for something like this. We will need to look at this in a major version release.
