My favourite trick for translating jargon fast and/or finding a whole body of vocabulary related to a niche topic is to treat Wikipedia like my own personal Rosetta Stone:

[amgine@mamot.fr]

@ShaulaEvans

Also, Wiktionary for the win.

[shaulaevans@zirk.us]

@Amgine Oui! I am the biggest wiktionary fan. All of those etymologies in one place -- for different languages! It's my childhood dreams come true.

[shtrom@piaille.fr]

@ShaulaEvans I do. It works great!

[dustin@sunny.garden]

@ShaulaEvans I've been doing this for years specifically for topics I'm well versed in and want to be able to speak about in the target language.

[luce@eldritch.cafe]

@ShaulaEvans Yes

[carbsrule_en@polyglot.city]

@ShaulaEvans I don't generally read Wikipedia in my target language(s) but I do have an automated tool which uses the "read this in another language" mechanic to translate key terms

[murodegrizeco@toad.social]

@Amgine

You are so right about Wiktionary.

For inflected languages, it often has an entry for a particular form, explaining maybe something like "masculine singular past indicative perfective" and pointing me back to the root.

[murodegrizeco@toad.social]

@ShaulaEvans

Yes! Wikipedia's switch languages is very useful!

[shaulaevans@zirk.us]

@dvd Yes! I often do this when I'm talking about plants or food with friends who speak other languages -- it's so handy to be able to clarify ingredients, plant names, etc.

[seabass@social.seabass.systems]

@ShaulaEvans Yup, I do this all the time. Wiktionary is my first port of call, mind you, but it's sometimes lacking certain translations so Wikipedia is the next logical site to check.

[seindal@mastodon.uno]

@ShaulaEvans

All the time.
