In German it's exactly like you suggest it. We say "Gleichspannung" (= 
constant/steady voltage) and "Wechselspannung" (=alternating voltage)

I also hate the English/American expression "inverter" for voltage 
converters, because really nothing is being inverted in any way.

But hey, they still have inches and feet and ounzes (be they fluid or 
solid) and gallons, so what can I expect? ;-))))
