There are many words in technical texts that can be translated in one way or another in such a way that neither option is objectively wrong. To maintain consistency, I thought it would be a good idea to create a list of such words and the translations for them that will be used in this project.

If you come across any words that are difficult to translate or can be translated in multiple ways, leave a comment below.

Also, feel free to comment on any of the existing translations listed below, if you feel like there's a better translation.
