That english terms are used in such places is indeed problematic because it makes it harder for people who don't understand english well.

Unfortunatly, translating terms like the above has even worse practical problems, otherwise I'd be all for it. > s/emacs/emaks/g # editor ma_k_ros In Esperanto, it is usually called `Emakso'.
