Namaskara Umesh,

About the translation for the word "Load" and its variants.

I don't personally like the word "thumbu" ;)

I don't know about paTyabhAshe but in aadubhAshe "thumbu" seems to be very
funny. I feel, we always use "thumbu" to refer to the process of "filling of
a fluid into some container". So, if the system is loading (KDE loading
etc.) and we use the word "tumbalaagththidhe", following questions appear to
my mind (besides looking funny)

   1. What fluid is that which is getting filled?
   2. and where is the container?

I feel, "sThaapisu" as a better translation although it might not be the
most precise one.

load, loader, loading, loaded, loads, preload boot-loader

sThaapisu, sThaapaka, sThaapisalaaguththidhe, sThaapisalaayithu,
sThaapisuvudhu, munna-sThaapisu, sajju-sThaapaka

And, reload = marusThaapisu also holds good.

Coming to precision, I feel, even "thumbu" is not very precise translation
for the word "load" as "thumbu" = "fill".

I strongly feel, we shouldn't give anybody a chance to make fun of our
translations. A common man with some experience of using computers (in
English) will laugh when he sees the word "thumbuththidhe" if he is not a
very intellectual person. And, the word "sThaapisu" has got some *dignity*
as we don't use it quite often in aadubhaashe. so, nobody can dare to make
fun of that word. :)

[ These are all my personal opinions. Please let me know what you guys feel
about this. ]

Best regards,
Siddharudh
