To make the Taxobox language-independent, why not use Latin? Isn't that what is the standard? Anything making the taxobox easier is welcome.
The current taxobox templates have names like {{Taxobox classis entry}}
The first word is a neologism specific to Wikipedia. The second word is Latin. The third word is English.
You are right - there is room for improvement in this area!

The problem is not with these labels as they can be understood by a someone intrested in Taxoboxes.
When it is an animal it should be [[Animalia]] and not [[Animal]]ia . Vernacular names are also difficult to use. The point being we have to discuss this and we have to be willing to cooperate. I would really welcome one Taxobox that is acceptable and usable by all wikipedia.
