Introduction
If like me you are passionate about crochet, you may have already come across crochet patterns in other languages. And there, it's a disaster! In general, in English it's fine. Whatever the language, I find that it is possible to understand when you come across the full name of the stitches. On the other hand, it's a different story when you face abbreviations. The worst? You find all the translations except the ones you need! Yes, it's always like that.
That's why I decided to make a complete table of crochet abbreviations in several languages. I was tired of having to search on different pages. And especially struggling to find a specific stitch. You will therefore find the 10 basic stitches in Portuguese, Spanish and English with their correspondences in French. And above all you can download this English - Spanish - Portuguese - French crochet lexicon in pdf

Lexique crochet Français - Anglais / Crochet terms translated
Regarding crochet patterns in English, I always came across American English. As you can see, between the two there is really enough to get your brushes (hooks?) tangled. The English double crochet is called "treble". While "treble" corresponds to the American double crochet. And "double crochet" corresponds to the single crochet for the UK version and double crochet for the US.
Again, I don't know if people now choose the American version by default, but I've only dealt with that one. But it's better to know that there are differences.

Multilingual crochet lexicon with abbreviations
For more clarity and practicality, I offer you a table in pdf format to download. You will find the names and abbreviations in the 4 languages. As well as the subtleties in English UK vs US and Spanish vs South American Spanish.
Here is a preview. I invite you to download the table which is in A4 format. It will be of better quality.

Conclusion
I hope this article and this table will help you! Especially by saving you precious time. Do not hesitate to tell me in the comments if there are any errors or if you know other names. I have collected and grouped information. It is not said that everything is correct!
Note that there are also differences in the nomenclature of hooks. For example, a 2.75 mm hook will be equivalent to a 12 hook for our British friends and a C hook for the Americans.
