What's up with 'lingua'? As you already know "lingua" is Brazilian portuguese for 
"tongue"
and it's so weird to be used in this context.

The one English word that I can think of that is closer to "lingua" and would 
make sense here
is 'lingo'. But that is a slang for 'jargon' and not appropriate for a 
technical document
either. "langua" as a short form of "language" seems weird as well. I really 
believe 'jargon'
is a more suitable word here.

As a native speaker: "lingo" would make sense here, though its tone is
a little informal.  "jargon" could also work, but "terminology" would
probably better match the tone of the document.

I changed it to terminology. No need to resend !

Thanks,

C.
