Definitely not Finnish. It's a totally incomprehensible language. ;)
Indeed! In computer world I prefer english. Almost all
finnish translations are bullshit!
I had a finnish version of OS/2 once. Had to reinstall
english version pretty soon. :)
I think techonology-speak is a challenge in any language. In
Latvian, computer is "dators". The trunk of a car is
"bagaaznieks" (where "aa" is a long A sound) ..and it
literally means "the baggage place".
Many computer-tech words are questionable translations of the
English originals, and sound very close to English anyway.
I was listening to a short interview/docu about the Nightwish
singer, Floor. The youtube-dl file didn't offer subtitles, so
I was forced to pay attention to the Finnish. A few words were
simply spoken in English such as: Rock-n-Roll.
BTW.. something weird happend to the subject line when you
