Still, it is not our word and should be written strictly in English. Another mistake is to write it as "WiFi" which means together. You always need to put a hyphen in the middle. If you write the name in the documentation, it is also a serious mistake to put spaces before and after the hyphen. There should be no spaces. It is also wrong to write all the letters with a lowercase.

Компьютерный английский для чайников
Each of us has at least once encountered a situation when a strange dialog box appears on the computer screen. Sometimes even in Russian it is not easy to understand what the technique might want from us.
But if the text is written also in English, it is very desirable to be cowardly and to restart the computer, if only not to understand what this unfortunate window is all about. But we're not going to give in to panic, and we'll try to figure out what's what.
Well, in order to at least understand which way to approach the problem, we offer a list of useful words that will help you understand the "language of the computer".
We already have an article about how to communicate with the IT department. But today we want to systematize our knowledge a bit and present a selection of words in alphabetical order. That way you can quickly and easily understand the root of the problem and try to find the right solution.
But remember, we are not aiming to teach you the basics of computer literacy in one article. We only want to correlate Russian concepts with their English equivalents.
Well, if something is not clear to you in computer topics, then feel free to refer to the Internet (or to your advanced programmer friend).
Computer English. List of English words that are similar to Russian
To begin with, let's look at words that we are already familiar with thanks to the Russian language. After all, as we know, many Russian computer terms were borrowed from the English language. They simply underwent adaptation to our language, changed the sound a bit, and began to be written in familiar letters. So our first vocabulary unit on "English for PC users" is quite simple.
- Anti-virus – Anti-virus, a computer program that fights viruses. As we understand it, this evil virus itself in English will simply be virus. The only problem here is that the word is pronounced |ˈvaɪrəs| in English. If you want to talk about anti-virus software, remember the word software. But we'll come back to that English word.
- Browser – Browser, i.e. the program for browsing the Internet. In other words, it is our Safari, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, which are installed on your computer. It is interesting that the very act of searching the Internet and browsing page after page is called "to browse", that is, "read, flip through". However, it is not necessarily about the virtual world. This verb is also actively used in everyday speech – I can spend hours just browsing through books in the library.
- Byte – byte. It also makes sense that Gigabyte (Gb) is a gigabyte, kilobyte (Kb) is a kilobyte and megabyte (Mb) is a megabyte
- Cache – cache, the superoperative memory that can be requested with the highest probability
- Cookie – a cookie, a small piece of data sent by a web server and stored on the user's computer. And yes, the word really did come from the English word for cookies. But unfortunately, it's not entirely known where such a curious name came from. It's thought to have originated from the so-called "magic cookie", that is, the set of data that a program receives and then sends back unchanged.
- Driver – driver. This polysemous word has many meanings. But today we are only interested in its computer aspect. So a driver is a program that controls the operation of peripheral devices.
- File – file. Pay attention to what kind of verb comes before this word. For example, we can "to copy a file", "to create a file", "to delete/erase a file", "to edit a file".
- Router – Router, router, device to connect to an IP address.
- Modem – Modem, that is the device that connects us to the Internet and which most of the time is asked to be restarted by internet providers if there are any problems with the network.
- Pixel – pixel, the smallest picture element
- Program – program. This word can also be a verb when it comes to programming – to program. Note that this lexical unit in English is written with one "m". There is also a variant of writing it as "program", but it is considered a more American approach.
