How to translate math technical terms?

What is a good way to translate mathematical technical terms?

This can sometimes be hard because some words have different meanings in some language. For example:

  • "eigenwert" (= "eigenvalue" in german) is translated "intrisic value" by google translate.
  • "coprs" (= "division ring" in french) is translated "body" by most of the translators, e.g. google, Linguee, etc.

In particular, I would like to know how to say "manifolds" in spanish.

A good way to translate mathematical terms from language $A$ to language $B$ is to look for the wikipedia article of the term in language $A$ and then change it to language $B$.

So look for manifold and switch the article to spanish.
