Unlike the Germans, the French prefer native words to borrowing from English. Here are a few examples:
| English ⇔ French Computer Terminology | |
|---|---|
| English | French |
| array | tableau |
| CD (Compact Disk) | Cédé |
| computer | ordinateur |
| database | base de données |
| drag and drop | glisser-déposer |
| courriel | |
| hardware | matériel |
| plug-in | plugiciel |
| program (software) | logiciel |
| wizard | magiciel |
The French newsgroup for Java is calledfr.comp.lang.java .
If you have ideas for useful links for this entry, please pass them on. I would appreciate anything that would be useful for converting programs to work in French, or for French-speaking Java programmers. Information for people fluent in French to help them translate English technical terms is most welcome.
