Under construction as time allows.
As glossaries are written in each language this index will link to them.
These translations are by professional and amateur blacksmiths and metalworkers that have a working knowledge of the tools and their language.
They are not linguists.
The translations may not be perfect but they are better than machine translations or translations by people unfamiliar with the tools.
Submissions comments and corrections welcome.
