First of all, I apologize for not asking a KudoZ question, but I would appreciate as many different pairs as possible, and theres nothing like a plurilingual corner on KudoZ.
Whats the reason for this question?
It just came up in one of Slovenian fori (slovlit) and my suggestion (računalščina) got ... well not flamed, but somewhere between toasted and cooked hard by a professional guardian of my mother language.

It just came up in one of Slovenian fori (slovlit) and my suggestion (računalščina) got ... well not flamed, but somewhere between toasted and cooked hard by a professional guardian of my mother language. H went on a tangent and eventually did not provide any alternative answer - the expression just does not exist on their books, so theres no problem - damnatio ignorantiae.
I would just like to get back at him with some juicy, good ideas from elsewhere. Thanks a lot in advance and have fun.

Hi Vito,
I can only think of one way of saying "computerese" in Spanish, and that is "jerga informática" (computer jargon).
Good luck!

Computerkauderwelsch
IT-Sprech und Nerddeutsch are known to Google. Nerddeutsch is slightly different but too cute to ignore it

In Finnish bad and incomprehencible language is called "piggygerman" = siansaksaa. So I would suggest atk-siansaksaa or tietokonesiansaksaa or IT-siansaksaa. But Finnish colleagues could come up with something better.
Cheers

The formal term is:
η γλώσσα της πληροφορικής, i.e. the language of informatics (computer science)
In colloquial Greek:
κομπιουτερίστικα, i.e. "computeristics" (same formation as the one used for legalese, νομικίστικα)
κομπιουτερική or κομπιουτερίστικη (γλώσσα, διάλεκτος), i.e. "computeric" or "computeristic" (language, dialect)

"κομπιουτερική" could stand on its own in the same way that κινεζική (= Chinese) could stand for κινεζική γλώσσα (= Chinese language). ▲ Collapse

Computerese...as simple as that or also informatichese.
Maybe somebody will come up with something different and more imaginative, but I cannot think of anything else.
Ciao!

| I can give the Tamil term but can it be read by others? | Jul 31, 2007 |
Computerese in Tamil will be kaNiniparibaashai (கணினிபரிபாஷை). Computerese is meant solely for computer-literates I suppose.

Hi Vito,
In Turkish, it would be bilgisayar (computer) dili (language) in a neutral tone. But if you want something pejorative, I guess bilgisayarcı ağzı might do. This not only conveys the message that the language in question is not understandable to all others (ağızbilgisayar (computer) dili (language) in a neutral tone. But if you want something pejorative, I guess bilgisayarcı ağzı might do. This not only conveys the message that the language in question is not understandable to all others (ağız means "jargon" in this sense, but it may well be used to refer to "blahblah"), but also the term bilgisayarcı (computerman) blurs the difference between an IT expert and a technician repairing computers, or even a salesperson.
But other Turkish speakers might come up with something better... ▲ Collapse

In French we commonly use the word "informatique" for IT and computer science.
