Hello! Dear friends, can you imagine your life without modern technology? I think not, and it is especially difficult to imagine the absence of a computer. The computer has taken a very important position in all areas of activity. That is, over the past decades, the computer has become a way to spend interesting leisure time, as well as an integral part in many areas of work: engineering, medicine, etc.

Many programs and computer “innovations” are developed abroad and distributed throughout the world. It happens that the program does not have Russian, but you will probably find English in the list of languages ​​when installing. So there is a need to know a basic dictionary of computer terms in English. In addition, many of the programs have a certain number of identical terms, which greatly simplifies the task of studying them, since they are found in almost all programs. Thus, it will not be difficult to remember their translation and meaning over time.

For example, in any program you will encounter

• open- open
• file- file
• error- error, etc.

In addition to the fact that many will find knowledge of computer terms useful in their work, others will also find it useful in non-professional work, for example, to install a program on a computer. Almost always during installation you will come across words such as:

• next- Further
• cancel- cancel
• to close all other applications- close all applications
• accept- accept

English computer terms Mastering a dictionary of computer terminology will improve your computer literacy. Those who use a computer for an impressive period of time mistakenly consider themselves “advanced” users. In fact, encountering any English term often becomes an insurmountable obstacle.

Another argument for you to learn a dictionary of English computer terms is the fact that many of them are borrowed from Russian. It is well known that the computer has become one of the reasons for the intensive use of Anglicisms in the Russian language over the last half century. For example, the word " feast" comes from the English words " peer”, which translated means “accomplice” and has acquired a new meaning: a client participating in distribution in programs such as torrent.

Computer and global Internet system

As was said a little above, the computer and the Internet have become the reasons for the emergence of Anglicisms in the Russian language; they are changing the Russian vocabulary with amazing speed. You are right in thinking that there is nothing wrong with this. However, imagine that you hear the following dialogue on the street:

— I changed mine yesterday Avik, Jolie poured himself. And I set myself aku Best

• Avik (from the English “avatar”) - means a picture that serves as a “face” on forums and blogs
• aka (from the expression “also known as”, translated “also known as”) - means nickname, that is, the name by which a network user is known

— Okay, I'll keep you posted. What are you?

What is your opinion? Does this sound Russian? Of course not. All this resembles some kind of strange, ridiculous slang. Why did it happen? Yes, because many, due to ignorance of translation into Russian, began to distort English words, adding only Russian endings.

That is why today’s topic is relevant, since studying the information below will help you not speak the fictitious half-Russian-half-English language. You will be able to maintain a purely Russian language, and if necessary, you will not be confused by the program in English.
