Where does all the weird Chinese component terminology come from?

You don't have to apologize. It's LCSC who owes everyone an apology for these ridiculous translations...

@niconiconi - from a place where no one uses English, your English deserves a  :-+

Maybe you will find these names originate from early Chinese academic electronic textbooks.

Recently I also stumbled upon a weird translation. I was looking for DMM rotary knob contacts/contact wipers on Aliexpress and didn't have much luck until floobydust told me to search for "multimeter shrapnel". Still haven't found any sensibly priced ones though - it just seems to be cheaper to buy the contacts with a meter around them.

I think that came from 碎片.

Infraviolet:
Would I be right in suspecting also that a lot of these terminologies come from the fact that most linguistic translators aren't experienced in electronics, they've sent a whole career learning to swap between the common vocabulary of two or rmoe languages and never had time to enter the world of engieering, translating a word you don't know the meaning of must be tricky.
