[[Kite's color notation|Color]] notation, [[Ups and Downs Notation|Ups and Downs]] notation, and [[Pergen|Pergens]] notation can all be translated into other languages. Conventional staff notation is universal (language-independent). Every country uses the same staff, the same clefs, and the same sharp and flat signs. But music terminology isn't. Spanish has not D♯ and minor 7th, but Re sostenido and séptima menor.
[[Kite's color notation|Color]] notation, [[Ups and Downs Notation|Ups and Downs]] notation, and [[Pergen|Pergens]] notation can all be translated into other languages. Much like conventional notation, many terms can be translated, but a few terms can't be. Just as one must learn a few Italian words like allegro and andante to read sheet music, one must learn a few English words to read color notation. Fortunately, the full word needn't be learned, just the first letter.

The color accidentals w, y, g, z and r must not vary. Spanish speakers shouldn't translate yellow into amarillo, and then shorten it to amo or mo. In order for terms such as 1o, 3u, 17a, etc. to be universal, -o, -u and -a for over, under and all must not vary. Thus wa, yo, gu, zo and ru are also invariant. L and s for large and small must also not vary.
