[[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. | [[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.

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. (Korean speakers should pronounce -u as -유 -yu | The color accidentals w, y, g, z and r must not vary.

Not only staff notation but also written chord names must not vary. Ch7 and Cs7 are invariant, thus h and s are also invariant. The words harmonic and subharmonic can vary. B natural is called H in certain countries, e.g. Germany. The English and German pronounciations of the letter distinguish h from H. "Aitch sieben" = h7 = w1 y3 w5 z7, and "ha sieben" = H7 = H D♯ F♯ A. | Not only staff notation but also written chord names must not vary. Ch7 and Cs7 are invariant, thus h and s are also invariant.
