The One With The 'Batang Ria'?
I overheard a conversation between a group of people from another department in my office.. They are the one who prepare for tender with another company and currently they are preparing for a presentation to a goverment agency.. this govt agency set a condition which sounds something like this, "In order to bid for their tender, one must prepare their document, presentation etc in Bahasa Malaysia.. it is ok to speak in broken language.. but cannot in fully English.."
So, it was their biggest task to translate IT terms to BM such as 'Antivirus', 'Computer bug', 'Worms' etc.....
I was wondering
IF :
HARDWARE = BARANGKERAS;
SOFTWARE = BARANGLEMBUT;
JOYSTICK = BATANGRIA;
PLUG AND PLAY = CUCUK DAN MAIN;
PORT = LUBANG;
SERVER = PELAYAN;
CLIENT = PELANGGAN;
THEN :
"That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client."
=
"PELAYAN itu beri kepada PELANGGANnya layanan CUCUK dan MAIN dengan mempergunakan BATANGRIA jenis BARANGKERAS atau BARANGLEMBUT. BARANGRIA itu dimasukkan ke dalam LUBANG PELANGGAN."
ELSE... ???
p/s : These are just some basic terms, wait until u come across to Bluetooth(Gigi Biru), Handspring(Spring Tangan), Thumb Drive(Pemacu Ibu Jari), Screen Saver(Penyelamat Skrin?), FireWire(Dawai Api?), USB(Bas Bersiri Universal) etc..
