song 80 : Direct translation

Got this joke through an email.

Why the Malaysian Government insists on using English for
math and science?

This is because the whole world uses the language as an
information and/or technology language. How dangerous it
will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See
example below:-

Hardware = barangkeras

Software = baranglembut

Joystick = batang gembira

Plug and Play = cucuk dan main

Port = lubang

Server = pelayan

Client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:

That server gives a plug and play service to the client
using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick
goes into the port of the client.

Now in BAHASA:

Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main
dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut.
Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan ke dalam lubang
pelanggan.
