"32x32") ("Normal" . "128x128") ("Large" . "256x256")) Small, Medium, Large. For example, the Gimp uses the following vocabulary for the size words describing the preview sizes: Tiny Very small Small Medium Large Very large Huge Enormous Gigantic Quick! - which is bigger, Enormous or Huge? Such names are opaque on their own - users will need to look up what they mean anyway. Why not just use the size as the name, without adding the vague translation? "256x256" is a perfectly good name, and it gives you a clear idea of the size. In that case, a list of size-names would suffice: ("32x32" "128x128" "256x256"). An added benefit would be that any number of sizes could be used, without resorting to coming up with names like "Super Duper Enormogigantissimo" and "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny" (which of course could only be used on yellow polka-dot images).
