I tried a few terms that I have written about [1], but no relevant results showed up.
A small nitpick, I personally don't agree with
> "Maidian literally means “embedding seeds” or “burying seeds”".
Dian, literally speaking, should be point, and it's actually used similarly in English (e.g. 'break point') in this context (and the practice of maidian kinda resembles debugging process too).
Maybe they make more sense as an individual word, but not in a phrase (burying points)? Will have to think about it further.
When I was an exchange student in Germany, I took civil engineering courses in German. Traditional dictionaries were not really useful for filling my gaps of technical vocabulary.
Instead, my approach was to have the German textbook (or course notes), a textbook on the topic in English and Wikipedia open. I would try to go through the German content as far as I could. Often I would be stuck because I did not know some terms, so I would search on Wikipedia and then change the language to English. If the wiki article wasn't enough then I would go to the English textbook and fill in the gaps.
I would have loved to have this then!

I asked ChatGPT to translate "Distributed Systems Engineer" into Russian and to explain it. It chose "Инженер распределенных систем" as the translation (literal, but fine!), and proceeded to give a spot-on explanation in Russian.
As a polyglot these new language models seem very promising for translation work, especially as well-constrained tasks leave them little room for "hallucination".
