Abstract

The author looks at how to express computer-related concepts in different languages and cultures. Through a minutely detailed analysis of the conceptualisation processes at work, they discuss: 1) technical terminology problems in African Languages; b) user requirements in terms of neology and specialized language; c) technical support problems: hypermedia lexicon versus lexicon on paper.
