[Alok <alokmahendroo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course a glossary of such words can also be published in the distro
as a reference explaining the use and context of such a term for those
uninitiated in computers and technological terms... With the students I
have noticed that after a few days of usage they are more comfortable
with the terms and it ceases to be a problem.. 

The power and popularity of translation lies in the ease of use and not
mere transliteration of text
