Chinese translations of computer terminologies (WIP)

The meaning is distorted when terminologies are translated, even if they are translated by the literal meanings. In this post I list some translations that I think are “bad”, and hopefully some better translations. (well, unluckily for most of them I can’t think of a better one.)

Potentially “bad” translations

in English	in Chinese	Proposal	Notes
function	函数	~
trap	陷入	~

cache
简中译作“缓存”，正体译作“快取”。

And why do I write a post about chinese language in english? well, because thanks to wayland, using pinyin in the terminal is not pleasant.
