I strongly recommend using redirects instead of aliasing for exact same 
content. Preferably defined in Apache rather than PHP or similar, so 
that it is most elegantly done (Apache redirects are declared both in 
http header and as html "page", so the actual redirecting happens faster 
in modern browsers).

Alternatively, localized content could be provided - but that's way more 
work.

You'd need to more clearly define "it" first, I guess ;-)

To me, at least, favoring "activities" over "addons" is tied to my 
belief of what it actually makes sense to use it for. Asking an outsider 
about a name "out of the blue" would make her/him try imagine on their 
own what kind of place "it" would actually become.
