I found that if the translation is done once (when the work is more or
less done), it is not a huge burden and it even helps to improve the
native tong paper (ironing out fuzzy wording or discovering a simpler
way to say).

FWIW, I know refer to the Elsevier's dictionary of computer science and
mathematics that only gives the vocabulary in 4 languages : english,
german, french, russian. It happens that my native tong is one of them.
Some expressions are impossible to guess or to obtain by raw
translation.
