In spanish, current translates to actual.

Yep, I acquired the habit to write var names like "cur_thing" for "current thing", you know.

Yeah exactly, looks like it's mostly English that's weird. Translations of "current":

- Danish: aktuel

- Dutch: actueel

- French: actuel

- German: aktuell

- Italian: attuale

- Norwegian: aktuell

- Polish: aktualny

- Portuguese: atual

- Romanian: actual

- Spanish: actual

Even Hungarian has aktuális! So using "actual" to mean "current" is basically just fixing English.
