Technology Crosses Language Barriers

Do you know that the word “Camcorders” has a direct French translation? It’s Caméscopes. In its singular form, camcorder in French is spelled also without the letter “S” hence, Caméscope. Anyway, technology knows no boundaries so with or without a direct language translation, good things will reach the hands of the consumers at great speed. I remember when the CD rom was introduced into the global market. The French coined the equivalent which I cannot accurately recall. Searching the net, I found "DISQUE COMPACT-ROM" as the French translation.
