If any of you follow me on Twitter then you'll know that I've been thinking (for quite some time) about how to make translation of mathematical things much easier, both manually and automatically. On the latter side, I've written some small things about a categorical approach to the problem, but on the former side, I've been trying to compile a multilingual maths dictionary. At the moment it's not very full at all, but I've been getting some submissions recently, and it's growing ever so slowly. I've spent a day or so trying to get the web interface to view it to work nicely, and now it's bearable at least, so feel free to have a look! https://thosgood.com/maths-dictionary/

if you'd like to contribute a phrase or two, then you can do so at https://forms.gle/KPmdx3K2MBizpGQ79 ; if you'd like to make a bigger contribution (say, a spreadsheet or CSV of a bunch of terms), then just drop me a message and we can talk about it :-)

This looks like the start of a very useful resource!
