I think the tutorial should explain each term before it uses it for the first time, rather than have a translation table. If this is not so, please point out the places that need to ve fixed. For the manual, we already have all the terms, including the 5 you mentioned, explained in the Glossary node. Perhaps all we need to do is add a reference to that node near the manual's beginning. I'm not sure how much it will help, since I don't think many people read the manual from its beginning, but it surely cannot hurt, I think.
