Can someone recommend a comprehensive Dictionary of Musical Terms in PDF form that also includes Mahler terms?

I'm wondering if you might find those in Torchinsky books...??

Perhaps tedious, but you just type "German to English" into a browser that uses google as a search engine it will take you directly to that Google translate site.

Perhaps this? But it's in text form, not pdf.

Gardner Read’s Music Notation is the standard text. They are out of print, but this shop seems to sell PDFs for $16. I have no experience with this seller. (And the site seems sketchy—use at your own risk.)

Hard copies are harder to find but I didn’t look on eBay.

I actually have a good PDF of Mahler terms and several hard copy dictionaries. I am looking for a one-source PDF I could put on my tablet.
