I would suggest to use the term
Erzgebirge instead of Ore mountains as used in the article. The Erzgebirge main article uses that name, and there are ore mountains in many other countries. A literal translation doesn't help this article, and the Erzgebirge article provides a literal translation in the intro.

For the record, the main article is now called the
Ore Mountains for several reasons: not only is that the most usual English name but, as the mountain range straddles the German-Czech border, using the English name avoids favouring the German Erzgebirge over the Czech Krušné hory or vice versa; plus it scores on clarity. --
