I think creating a list of such words will be the best idea and putting that
on our translations page. As I said before too, there are many computing
words that are alien in regular Hindi spoken by people. I prefer them to be
just written in Hindi without translating as below because instead of
learning that extra words (exact translated words), people would be more
comfortable with these :-

click as क्लिक
pointer as pointer
Desktop डेस्कटोप
Laptop लैपटोप
Screen स्क्रीन
Monitor मौनिटर
Printer प्रिन्टर
Speaker स्पीकर
Microphone माईक


I request all to contribute that words (and their translation) which they
think should be on the list. Lets do it soon and work to make our dream come
true of translating Ubuntu in Hindi upto 100% in next release.

Keep mailing words and its translation.
