At first glance this looked like a code smell, but after some reflection I can't think of a cleaner, more readable way to uniquely identify each possible relationship -- especially in a strongly-typed language with an IDE.

`Colleague` in `CNLabelContactRelationColleauge` is spelled incorrectly.

Yup. @dang, can you fix this?
In principle yes, but I tried in 4 (edit: 5) browsers and couldn't reproduce the problem, and it's late here and I'm running out of steam. So you may have to suffer overnight. Sorry about that. Edit: ok, thanks to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_character_property#Whi... I put in a bunch of ​ . I hope that fixes it because I need to sign off now. If it isn't fixed, it would be helpful if som…

enum CNLabelContactRelation {
static let aunt = "…"
static let auntFathersBrothersWife = "…"
}That label is so long it’s breaking the HN front page layout for me on mobile.

You've got to love the "abbreviations" for these laws. RflEttÜAÜG
表姐, in case you were wondering.
Exactly... Could it not just have been named CNContactLabelRelation表姐 ?
I think it makes more sense to keep all identifiers in English or alternatively provide completely localized versions of the API in other languages, going halfway is just going to confuse everybody. Remember for instance the confusion created by PHP using hebrew in the symbol for the '::' operator: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/592322/php-expects-t-paa...

Is Chinese the only language with this relationship? Also, identifiers in Apple frameworks are always ASCII.
They could have used Pinyin. Even people who don’t speak Chinese and have to look it up would have an easier time understanding it than trying to parse this identifier.

I can see why this is needed. English has very broad words for relatives like "grandfather" or "aunt". Most languages have more specific words, especially Chinese where there are separate words for fathers or mothers side, older or younger and sibling or siblings spouse. You also often use these relation words rather than their names when referring to a relatives. If this code was in Chinese, they would all be short…
