I agree with you that barnâme-nevis is not a good translation of 
developer, but at the same time, I don't feel excited with 'tose'e 
dehande' either.

ummm, what is the difference?

scène is a french word, and is also used extensively in Farsi. I agree 
that 'sekans' is wrong, and I also agree that 'sahne' is probably 
correct, but given the choice between an Arabic word and a French 
one, I don't see why we should choose the Arabic one. I prefer scene 
to be translated just to 'sen'.

I think we should keep bug as 'bug', which means I go with bug-zodâ.

nither do I. This is one of those words which is extensively used in 
English language, and I have yet to find a good translation for it in 
Farsi. Even when I am speaking Farsi, I am forced to use this word, 
cause there is no equivalent for it, as far as I know.

George Orwell maintained, if a word doesn't exist in a language, then 
people won't think about it. For example he said, if you remove the 
word 'freedom' from language, then no one will ever think about it. 
I guess I can see why the word 'privacy' doesn't really exist in 
Farsi. Cause no one ever cares about it. 

we are all OWNED !!!
read my sig.

I should have probably gone and study sociology or something...  :-D
