OK, I agree, that 'div' or 'jen' might not be good. And believe me, all 
I want to do is to make use of GNU/Linux and KDE widespread. FarsiKDE 
tries to bring the power of GNU and Linux, to ordinary iranian users. 
Our target is not hackers, hackers don't need a translation, they are 
perfectly happy with english.

But all I am saying, is that untill now, we have always used some really 
formal words. Not that it's bad, but we should at the same time try to 
preserve the hackerdome culture. I don't believe that using some 
not-that-much-formal word, would make FarsiKDE a hackers-only product.
