All fine and dandy except one thing. A lot of computer terminology is English only. So it's hard to use a "native word" when there is none.

Or the native word is not as cool or cool sounding or maybe it doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well.
One example that comes to mind in German and there are other words but:
Telekommunikationsdienstanbieter (32 letters) or Provider (the English word in the German for I.S.P.) you tell me which sounds cooler.

Well, since you put it that way, I kind of like "Telekommunikationsdienstanbieter"!

The translation it fine, it's the grammatical differences between languages that trip it up.

Translation will fail because of a lack of grammar, that is, if the non-English forums are at all like the English forums.

Well if you can pronounce it, it does have a bit of a ring to it.
But I mean it is a rather long word.
