There is also a useful spreadsheet available for a selection of languages on the Park Tools website.

Seat = Saddle

If you look at the linked site, there are numerous errors. I checked 5 languages and found that the term for bottom bracket, number 19, is wrong in all 5 of these other languages. In Italian I found 5 errors, in French 2 errors. In Dutch 2 errors...

No wonder my correspondent in France asked me to stick to English.
