Thanks Tom! The first sentence is very tricky!! Our R lesson did not define a variable much. I like the definition found here , "変数（英：variable）とはプログラミング言語における「値を入れておく箱」のこと"。

[masamiy]

I understand this sentence is specifically added for Japanese. If it should stay, I would suggest to modify:
変数は英語で「variable」(ヴァリアブル)という / 呼ぶ (whichever you prefer)。

Not sure about the scope of glosario but I've seen a lot of Japanese definitions give the English term, especially for technical jargon as Japanese users will likely encounter them in English documentation.

I saw a conversation with @naoe-tatara at #303 (comment). I feel it may be easier to avoid mentioning a pronunciation in other languages for now. When Japanese is interested to know how to say a word in English, they should check with glosario en entry or Google. Let's keep each entry simple.

There is a little challenge here :) I open this discussion to Japanese community on Slack and have their input.

[naoe-tatara]

I suggested a small change for the first line.

Thanks @naoe-tatara and @masamiy. I like the updated version so I think we’re all in agreement. 🙂
