# MPM English → Simplified Chinese glossary

The master vocabulary for Chinese editions (MPM_Document_Standard.md §12). Every `build_zh.py` uses it
through `mpmdoc.i18n.Translator`: a figure or table string that matches an English term here, as a whole,
is translated (case-insensitive), so the same English always gives the same Chinese.

Rules:
- Add a term here when it will recur across documents. Phrases and sentences specific to one document go in that document's own table in `build_zh.py`.
- One English term, one Chinese term. If a manufacturer corrects a term, change it here and rebuild the Chinese editions that use it.
- Keep in Latin script: part numbers, model numbers, tags (S-1, M3), units, standards (ADA 307, IP66, UL 48), station and place names, brand names.
- Units in Chinese editions: mm first, imperial in [ ]; mass in kg (lb in brackets where the source is lb).
