Imo this would be hard if not impossible.

Mathematical equations don't have any meaning taken by themselves; they just express a certain relationship between quantities without stating anything specific about what those quantities are.

Any translation of an equation to English would be a certain (usually lossy) interpretation of the equation for some particular quantities. But the same equation can have multiple interpretations in wildly different contexts.

Striking example is quantum mechanics. Physicists in the first half of the 20th century figured out a mathematical model (e.g. the Shroedinger equation) that worked perfectly well for predicting the behaviour of fundamental particles. Interpreting what the equation actually means (let's say in English) proved to be hard though and spawned multiple, sometimes conflicting or paradoxical interpretations. In fact, to this very day physicists are split on their favorite interpretation of QM. On the positive side, the mathematics of QM just works no matter how the result or the calculation are being interpreted.
