Last topic before 10 days of holiday from the forum (I'm going to the mountains if anybody cares... )

I've read that there's been a time when a lot of names where used for bases, even the smallest modified ones, blinzed this, blitzschlag that and so on.

I enjoy English and it gives the possibility of speaking with a lot of people, but ...

Why not call CP's "diplographies"? "diagrams" is also a greek word and in sciences usually names use latin or greek words ... I think using "crease pattern" is ok and a sign we are in a new era, but also think "diplography" could be possible since it involves the "dupl" prefix which signifies doubling, reminding in some sort of way the step from 2 to 3 dimensions.

And what would be the Japanese word for CPs? And the Spanish?

Translated word per word
Japanese: Sujime Ruikei
Spanish: Pliegue Muestra / Pliegue Patron

but I think there are contextual terms for CPs in those languages.

Well, the Spanish language crease patterns group is called Grupo Origami Patrones.

Crease patterns in Japanese is Sujime Ruikei? Because the kanji
I see written for crease pattern is read as Tenkaisu. Maybe I'm
wrong.... Just a thought....
