"Try to read technical literature in English"
seems like the most logical answer. How else? Well, some kind of Mate-Translate or GoogleTranslate is at hand with Instant Translate mode - you poke into an unfamiliar word and immediately get the translation. In the browser, this is exactly what is possible.

Technical literature is written not by some special technical literary critics, but by people who are not alien to the spoken language. His understanding is well pumped through fiction - here, for example, I recommend Pratchett :)
And there are no super tricks here, just practice, practice and practice.

You read the right book, translate every unfamiliar word (you look for the translation in the right context yourself, without browser extensions - they have a weak dictionary for specific terms). After 100-200-... pages it will be easier and faster to read
