Could someone tell me what "decals" translate as ?
Logos, legends, labels, overlays, printing?

For model kits:
The moisture-activated ones are "waterslide decals" or simply decals in the
states.
If they are the kind one burnishes on, we know them as "dry transfers".
No idea why we don't call them dry decals, but I never hear that term here.

For other uses:
General-purpose, self-adhesive (peel-back) ones are most often called
stickers.
For sports helmets (and other equipment), the stickers are usually referred
to as decals.
Iron-ons are generally called transfers.
The only other moisture-activated types I know of are postal stamps (older)
and temporary tattoos (there's even a special inkjet paper for this).
