Hello,

I am a graduate student and my dissertation involves comparing the progress of Terminology Planning in three languages, one of which is Arabic. I’m trying to get some feedback about the following basic computer terms in day to day usage. If anyone is able to let me know how (if at all) these words are translated and/or transliterated in common use, I would sincerely appreciate it.
