Why English is used in IT

Why We Use English for IT

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math and science?

This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or
technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa ,
especially in school. See example below:-

Hardware = barangkeras

Software = baranglembut

Joystick = batang gembira

Plug and Play = cucuk dan main

Port = lubang

Server = pelayan

Client = pelanggan


Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:
That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either
hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the
client.

Now in BAHASA:
Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan
batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan
ke dalam lubang pelanggan.

Now you know...why?
