ELI5 Do the names of Scientific Theories remain the same throughout different languages?

r/

For example, would string theory still be referred to as string theory in spanish, or would it be called something like “la teoría de cuerda”?

    You can look up theories on wikipedia and change the language to see what they are called – https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teor%C3%ADa_de_cuerdas

    Most things are translated into whatever language. Many theories were discovered in non english speaking countries so the english version is itself a translation and not the original.
