Which Languages Useful for Engineering ?

schmitt trigger:
I did not say simple, but straightforward. A very key difference.

My mother tongue is not English, and yet I was able to learn it very quickly simply by listening to music and movies.

Mit Deutsch? Nein.

;D

PS: Actually, we do not mix symbols used in formulas ( U - voltage, I - current, R - resistance, C - capacitance, L - inductance) with corresponding units (V - Volt, A - Amper, Ω - Ohm, F - Farad, H - Henry).

C, C++  .... and many others...

There are lots of China or Taiwanese only parts with datasheets to match.

For written Chinese traditional Chinese is still pretty important for engineering documents, because of its use in Taiwan. Documents which the Taiwanese send to China will be translated to simplified Chinese, but lots of other documents remain only in traditional Chinese.

there is always google translate:

对于书面的中国传统汉语,由于其在台湾的使用,对于工程文件仍然非常重要。台湾人寄给中国的文件将被翻译成简体中文,但许多其他文件只保留在繁体中文中。

@BlueSkull, what does this say in simplified characters?

--- End quote ---
Mechatronics = machinery + electronics.

--- End quote ---
Wrong.
Mechatronics = mechanics + electrics/electronics.

In Europe, this is 80% automotive...

not really interested in pointing who's right or wrong, but... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechatronics not really a fan of the term since it omits "programming" in it which is 1 of 3 main constituent of the field. but its not really automotive related field imho, its actually everywhere in this age. otoh, china is also manufacturing many cloned automotive/mechanical related parts, not just electronics parts.
