Computer and IT terminology
This page lists words and phrases that can be used in computer, Internet and general software localization contexts.
This list is in no way complete and everything might not be absolutely accurate - if in doubt please always consult a Sesotho language practitioner. Furthermore the page is intended to be a guideline and resource. One of the problems with localization and translation of computer terms in Sesotho and many African languages is the fact that this often done in isolation and vocabulary is not shared. Therefore it happens that alternative words are used for similar concepts without taking previous translations into account. The same is experienced with regards to the transliteration of English words - the various published and accepted versions of the word "computer" in Sesotho is a good example. Hopefully this page can aid this cause.
Any comments with regard to current terms as well as new suggestions are welcome please send email to (remove spaces): o l i v i e r @ t e a c h i t z a . c o m
