Bahasa Teknik
Why does our Government insist on using English for maths and science?
This is because globally, people use English as the main IT language at this moment.
How dangerous it is if we were to try using Bahasa for out IT education, especially in school.
See examples below:
*hardware = barang keras
*software = barang lembut
*joystick = batang gembira
*plug and play = cucuk dan main
*port = lubang
*server = pelayan
*client = pelanggan
Try translating this:
ENGLISH:
"That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client."
BAHASA:
"Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itudimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan."
