Spanish term or phrase:Nomenclatura(s)
Overall context: a rather technical user manual for a web service that allows users/clients to submit queries about accommodation options at different destinations and get information on availability and other details about the accommodation.
"Nomenclature(s)” sounds strange to me in English in the contexts given below. Does anyone know if the word is used in this way into specific technical context? If not, is there a better alternative?
Gracias a dicho interfaz, es posible realizar acciones tales como recoger los destinos en los cuales XXX opera actualmente, con las ***nomenclaturas*** en el idioma deseado por el consumidor, solicitar listados de acomodaciones disponibles conteniendo información detallada de cada establecimiento, e incluso obtener la URL que permite redirigir al usuario final a la web de XXX que le interese con objeto de completar su reserva.
…
Ejecución y parámetros de entrada
Para dirigirnos a la función GetDestinations sólo precisamos indicar, además del consabido código de identificación de usuario de la API de XXX, el parámetro language, indicando el valor correspondiente al idioma en que deseemos nos sean devueltas las ***nomenclaturas*** correspondientes a cada destino.
Language: idioma en el que mostrar las descripciones de los establecimientos y las ***nomenclaturas*** de los alojamientos en ellos ofertados. Puede asumir los valores Spanish, English, French que son referidos a español, inglés y francés, respectivamente.
Explanation: In the context there is no other possible word, as it is actually in your own words a very technical user manual, and therefore is a specialized vocabulary.

Nomenclature is not an unfamiliar word. It's what I used in the end, despite my doubts about its appropriacy in this case. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Judging by the example given the "nomenclatura(s)" appears to include at least the destination code and name and the country code and name (possibly other details as well).
¿Tienes idea cómo son esas nomenclaturas? ¿Podrían ser códigos de sitios y alojamientos? Una idea. Saludos!

Explanation: I agree Ross. I don't think one in a hundred British or American readers would know what a 'nomenclature' is- even if it walked in the room and bit them.

Explanation: I don't I'm the kinds person you are looking for but on the face of the info you have given, nomenclature would seem over the top.
In both contexts "names" would work, that is, "names of destinations" and "names of accommodation" (well, not accommodation, but a term that covers hotels, hostals etc...)

OOOooops: I don't think I'm the kinda person you are looking for (that is, a computer person)
