It would be good to tweak the dictionary supplied by @m-iancu a bit (see https://mathhub.info/mh/dictionary). Here are some ideas

  • the title should be "Math Dictionary" not just "Dictionary"
  • currently, the source/target languages are de/de, they should be set to something more sensible. Either always en/de or de/en (we have most pairs there) or we could take the languages of the person (if he is logged in) into account.
  • there should be an explanatory text, what this is. I will add this in a comment.
  • there should probably be a disambiguation possibility for homonyms in the source language (this is more than beautification though).
  • maybe we can extend this to a word-based search engine, where instead of translating we just look for definitions. But maybe is is better to use functionality from this page to make a glossary search functionality in https://mathhub.info/mh/glossary. On the other hand, glossary search would be a good word sense disambiguation tool for the dictionary

Here is some initial text to include:

<p>The math dictionary on this page is a service based on the <a href="https://mathhub.info/smglom">SMGloM</a> terminology. To translate mathematical terms, select the source and target languages and enter them in the text window on the left (autocompletion). The translations are hyperlinked to their respective definitions for convenience.</p>

Fixed items 1-3. The last two are still open for discussion I think.
