Hi Carlos, this is the only way to automatically modify the column and tables names, alternativly you can add DisplayName, TableName, and ColumnName attributes to your metadata
DisplayName - changes the display name of the column or table.
TableName - changes the actual table name
ColumnName - changes the actual column name
Note: if you only use TableName or ColumnName attribute the display name will be the same.
See my blog C# Bits | Twitter @sjnaughton Always seeking an elegant solution.
I finally came with my own trivial solution. What I did was copy my MetaData file to an Excel spreadsheet and I make the changes there so I later copy all "Translated MetaData" into my MetaData project file and I got what I need

Rudimentarily but it works just fine

yes that's true but it is nice to have ALL table name setup for you and all you have to do is change the fiddly ones :)
