I'm an OLD pilot and used to work a lot with international aviation. I will
suggest that there is different terminology for the same thing depending
upon which country you live in and which language you are translating from.
"Walk about the near-side wing and retrieve the 7/16 spanner in the boot,
please". How do you say that in American, German, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese,
Chinese......etc...
Cheers!!
