Maths Dictionary

As part of an ongoing project on categorical translation, I'm organising an open-source multilingual dictionary of mathematical terminology. You can see the live website version at https://thosgood.com/maths-dictionary/ .

Todo

• use the "join": Bool key for adjectives (e.g. 0ebe035f/06440212)
• languages without gendered nouns should have "genders": [] instead of no genders key at all
• refs for all adjectives
• should be a way to indicate that there is no space between a noun and its adjective (e.g. Modellkategorie in DE)
• sort out the way that rows are added for adjectives
  • use row.add()?
• make language header row sticky at top
• support for multiple atoms
  • e.g. regional variations, or just synonyms
• a way to inherit adjectives from another entry!
  • e.g. give a list of hashes of adjectives that "group" should inherit from "ring"
  • but should also have "general" fallback, e.g. if I want to write "differentiable stack", then I can modify "stack" (or literally anything!) by "function.differentiable", i.e. coercion
    • this would give a "hm we can't guarantee anything" warning
• search should also search through adjectives
• LTR/RTL should be reflected in text-align in the css
• add plurals of nouns (and thus adjectives)
  • will also need cases... (for e.g. DE)
• think about verbs...
