Muka Buku

[Muka Buku of mine]

Last nite when I checked my email suddenly Pjoy who sits beside me asked why the email comes from facebook was in bahasa? So then I explained that I used Facebook in Bahasa so thats why Facebook would give me emails in Bahasa.

Speaking of which my internet language was totally English (yeah.. you can see right here), then I think there is something I can do to support my mother language. So I think I can try to use Facebook in Bahasa. Well.. several social or popular internet application such as Friendster also already had Bahasa for language choice. Some people dont prefer to change because there will be some misunderstanding of term used inside the web. Its somewhat funny, as example the famous Facebook ‘Wall’ will become ‘Dinding’ in Bahasa. Then it just some words, any other translation works fine for me. Unlike several years ago changing language would gave us a fatal blow because the translation were totally suck. I remember that one of the funny translation is ‘Copy’ and ‘Paste’ that would be ‘Salin’ and ‘Lekat’ in bahasa. For this words I guess it should be default for any language to avoid misunderstanding because all people over the world are get used with the words.

After this I think I would change my Friendster and other web application I used to Bahasa as long the translation is acceptable by me.

later…
