What do you expect when you go borrowing words from other languages willy-nilly? Just as English has different names for an animal when it's alive in a field and dead on your plate, so it has picked up different words for "bonding metals using a molten metal filler" depending on the particular subdomain of engineering. "Welding" and "Soldering" are the same word in many languages.
