I have one memory from university just burned into my head and will most likely never forget it. During a course on operating systems, I got increasingly confused by the prof talking about "Speicherkacheln", which translates to "memory tiles" - i.e. small tiles you'd glue to a wall in a bathroom.
It took me a hilarious amount of time to realize he was talking about mem pages. Many things about that lecture fell into place once that clicked.
Later on, especially the newer courses, had no qualms about just keeping english terms around, or at least made sure to include the english terms though. All of the interesting research happened internationally anyway.
