Even in the 1980ies Microsoft employed linguists for translating terms like "scroll bar" into different languages.

However finding the right translation level in technical context is hard. For which concepts should one translate the name and which terms should one borrow the English term? The French translate "computer" as "ordinateur", the German "Rechner"/"Rechenmaschine" however is outdated.

Now what about a git repository clone and commit? How much translation will destroy understanding?
