Rename everything called 'poll' to 'voting' about consuldemocracy HOT 2 OPEN

Hi, @jensconsul 😄.

Sorry for the late reply 🙏.

You can edit most of these texts under config/locales/en/admin.yml, although in some cases it might be hard to find exactly which text goes where 😌.

Note that renaming "polls" to "voting" might be confusing as well because we use "voting" in other contexts, like voting for proposals, or the final voting phase in participatory budgets 🤔.

By the way, since I'm not a native English speaker, have we confirmed with native English speakers that using "voting" in this context is equivalent to using "poll"?

Hey @javierm !

And sorry for mine! 😌

I actually checked with a native English speaker-friend (who is a professional translator) some time ago and he saw no problem calling it voting. However he did see a problem using voting as a noun, which means that many of my suggestions would be in fact senseless to process.

However, I would still:

1. replace 'Polls' with 'Voting' in the main admin menu because the feature is in fact called Voting (as apparent in the demo's main menu),
2. replace the 'Poll Officer' with 'Voting Officer' in the Voting Booths' submenu, because it sounds more clear and official,
3. and relatedly, replace 'Poll officers' (two times in text) with 'Voting officers' on the 'Poll Officers' page.

Hope this makes sense!

P.s.: this is Jens but somehow auto-logged in with Esther's old account I think..
