Direct Translation Is Not A Good Idea

Never translate IT terms to the Malay Language. Why Mahathir insist on using English for math and science. Because global uses the language as information’s and / or technology language at this moment.How danger it is if we’re trying to use in Bahasa, especially in school. See example below..

- hardware = barangkeras

- software = baranglembut

- joystick = batang gembira

- plug and play = cucuk dan main

- port = lubang

- server = pelayan

- client = pelanggan

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.

TRANSLATION TO MALAY:
Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan
batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut.Batang gembira itu dimasukkan
ke dalam lubang pelanggan.
