Triceratops is not translated.
You can tell it is a Triceratops by the three horns on its head. Scientists call a horned dinosaur like Triceratops a ceratopsian. The two horns above the eye sockets were up to 3 feet long. The horns were sharp and covered with a thick coat of the same stuff your fingernails are made of, called keratin, which made them strong. They came in handy in a fight with any T. rex.
Although it wasn't a predator looking for a fight, it wasn't defenseless if attacked. In addition to having horns, Triceratops could use its size to defend itself. Triceratops could be as tall as a basketball goal (10 feet), and as long as three basketball goals laid end-to-end (30 feet), and could weigh as much as three cars (six tons).
A Triceratops' eyes also helped it defend itself. They were on the sides of its head and helped it scan for any predators coming after it.

Prolly "tri-cer-a-tops." I think it's worldwide. No other lang. for dinosaurs. many were names by peoples of other countries who didn't speak english. Triceratops in not an English word. It is derived from other words, names, places, etc.
