Even if it's a detail let me elaborate a bit :)
For me visibility implies that the "object" _is here_ but it is not
visible (my opinion might be biased because of the visibility CSS
property).
On the other side this definition sounds good to me: "In computer
programming, a scope is the context within a computer program in which
a variable name or other identifier is valid and can be used, or
within which a declaration has effect." [1]
The general definition fits too: "extent or range of view, outlook,
application, operation, effectiveness, etc.".
About the consistency issue, as I said I'm committed to make wiki
macros extend WikiComponents in the near future.

Hi devs,
Following the discussion about general architecture of the new
localization module here is a more detailed proposal for the
dynamically registered wiki translations pages.
Here is how I propose to indicate that a document contains key=value
pair translations:
* put an object of class "XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass"
I would have preferred TranslationClass but I see your point.
* set the "visibility" field to
"Global", "Current wiki", "Current user"
WDYT about scope ? I'm implementing
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8234 and I went for scope there
because I think it's more than just "visibility".
OK for scope, I proposed "visibility" it to follow wiki macros but I
don't like it much either.
I prefer "visibility" because it's easier to understand IMO.
"scope" is like saying "stuff".
But it's a detail… Again all I'd like is consistency which is now broken...
Thanks
