Inconsistent history event names

[urbalazs]

Describe the issue

The name of history events are inconsistent, see this section. Some examples:

• Resource update: noun + verb
• Translation completed: noun + verb past
• New translation: no verb
• Removed comment: verb past + noun

They should be consistent like "Something happened" (noun + verb past):

• Resource updated
• Translation completed
• Translation added
• Comment removed

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar issues in this repository.

#10135 tries to consolidate this, reviews welcome.

I have been confused by these inconsistent event names for a long time while translating.
Currently, some of the Simplified Chinese translations of these event names actually imply that it was someone who did these events, which is in the active voice. These event names shown below the user’s avatar in the UI also make the active voice look reasonable: this layout implies that someone (the avatar) did something (the event shown below).

If #10135 is implemented (changing all these event names to noun + verb past participle, that is passive voice), is it still necessary to imply that was someone who did these events in translations?

Typically there is someone who did the action. But there are also automated events (automatic translation) or actors outside Weblate (changes in the repository).
