>>How do other languages translate the concepts of 'file', etc in computer
>>terms?

The German "Datei" is an artificial word made up from "Daten" (data) and
"Kartei" (a physical collection of folders or other paper containing
things).

I would vote for "vasru" since I perceive files as a kind of container, too.

Another possiblility might be "xelfendi" since a file is a seperated set of
data.But I find this word too long.


"kargau" and "ga'ogau" seem OK to me.
