The priority field (of web content) is numerical, and if you change it, something might break. If you need something separate from it, create a custom field. Or find where you want to display it and display something based on the number. But the database has a numerical field.

1. In the database: No! You would create an unmaintainable system that breaks with the next minor upgrade
2. In the UI translation: Yes: You can override any translation that appears on the user interface and name it as you like. There are blade-samples for that
