They mix it frequently enough. Take a look at http://bash.org.ru/ Or, if you need "more proper" example, lookt at: - bielarussian text on TCP/IP protocol: http://skif.bas-net.by/bsuir/base/node350.html - ukrainian text on SARS: http://www.nbuv.gov.ua/e-journals/AMI/2005/05kivvap.pdf - A list of periodics issued by Bulgarian Academy of Science: http://www.bas.bg/index.php?pat=baspubl&glaven=gov&ezik=bg So please, don't take such assumptions. A better assumption would be that writers of any language will have to mix it with Latin sooner or later, just because, as you mentioned in your post, Latin is fundamental to computers - a simple consequence of the fact that computers where invented and first put to massive use in Latin-based countries.
