Was there a period in the 1960s or 1970s where French speakers used native terms instead of English for computing terminology? I'm wondering about this because a Brazilian friend is doing a computer history project and he noticed that 1970s documentation used literal Portuguese translations of English technical terms, and the translations are no longer transparently comprehensible to present-day Brazilians because of the subsequent switch to using the English terminology. For example, the documentation refers to a "montador", and he had to translate that into English for his Brazilian audience ("assembler").
