They are non-existant words in any language. We should keep them for
some time for compatibility and warn about deprecation. I added
'español' as a proof of concept without taking into account other
languages. Then, if we want (I think yes) to add more aliases, it can
be implemented better than repeating the trick for each. I can do it
later.
