Bonvenon Prashanth, Both of those terms are words that in English are currently in transition from multi-word expressions to compound words. In Esperanto, it makes perfect sense to express them directly as compound words because that is part of how Esperanto builds its vocabulary anyway.
Thus: multimedia = plur-medio = plurmedio play lists = lud-listoj = ludlistoj You'll find that there are a lot of words that you can't find in most dictionaries. The roots of those words will be there though. And you can make sense out of the compound that way. This isn't unique to translations or to technical terms. I've had it happen in conversations fairly regularly. Initially, it can seem a bit strange if your native language doesn't form compound words as frequently and easily. After a little while, I got used to it. You will find plurmedio in the Komputada Leksikono<http://bertilow.com/div/komputada_leksikono/>. It's an excellent starting point for finding existing Esperanto computing terminology. - Dale (Dejlo) Gulledge On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 2:31 PM, Prashanth Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi, > I am a Kubuntu user and I have been using the esperanto langugage pack > for > the past few weeks.
