Chris Double .zoi cusku di'e >How do other languages translate the concepts of 'file', etc in computer >terms? In Hebrew "file" is "kovetz", which means approximately "small collection" in other contexts, and "directory" is "sifriya", which means "library" in other contexts. The use of "kovetz" for file has always seemed not the most fitting to me, like something that the Hebrew Language Academy came up with. mu'o mi'e .adam.
