> I live in germany and while germans generally have little patriotism they're fierce defenders of their language, which led to all sorts of domain-specific terms being translated across many different kinds of media. Be it movies, books, technical manuals, programming instructions.

- Dewie 12y agoBecause this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8374821 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8374821 And I think it's just silly to say things like "snowboard" outside of English, instead of just translating it. It's just "snow" and "board", that can be easily and seamlessly be translated. But where I'm from, people are too lazy for that/don't care.
