[lojban-beginners] Re: Word translations...

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

could the thing about "close"ing a file be something that's being influenced by culture?  If you think about what "closing a file" really is it's really more like "unloading a piece of computer memory".  I have no clue what the appropriate lojban for something like that would be, but it just seems like using "close" is malglico

Now I'm a bit confused.. What does "te pruce" (Minimiscience's translation) mean?
I've been using "datnyvei" for document/file.

Hmph. I suppose it will have to do.

"nermutmi'i" for "plugin" is a good one, a plugin is essentially what a 'module' is, in my case.
