content: hiSo an idea came to my mind as English is not my first language for a thread where folks around the world would place their component names next to english names . Yes I am aware that most of the nowadays electronics is like pure english names but this might be a nice test to see how other languages implent or borrow their english CounterpartsSo here it is ( It`s a test too for me so I`ll describe the function if uncertain of the english name )Polish(shhhhhczhhhshhhzzhhh)Resistor - OpornikCapacitor - KondensatorTransistor - Tranzystor ( Bipolar - Bipolarny )Coil - CewkaCoil on a Single Core but not transforemer ? Inductor ? - D?awikDiode - DiodaZener Diode - Dioda ZeneraSchotkys Diode - Dioda SzotkiegoTransformer - Transformator(Full) Bridge Rectifier - (Pe?ny) Mostek ProstowniczyChip - CzipMicrocontroller - MikrokontrollerAnd a little BonusAC - Pr?d ZmiennyDC - Pr?d Sta?yVoltage - Napi?cieAmperage - Nat??enie ( pr?du)Power - MocI hope that at least some of you are as curious as me

content: Nice idea for a threadSome background for Hebrew: about a hundred years ago, reviving the language of the Bible was all the rage, and people constantly invented new words for then-modern things. As time went by this impulse waned, so more recent technology-related terms either have no Hebrew name at all, or has a name that no one actually uses. I'll spare you the alphabet and transliterate the terms that are in common use.Resistor : NagadCapacitor : KabalCoil : SlilTransformer : ShanaiDiode : DyodaDisplay : TetsugaScreen : Masach ("ch" as Germans pronounce it, not English)Integrated circuit : Ma'agal MeshulavProcessor : Me'abedChip : Shvavswitch : MetegButton : Kaftor / Lachtsan

content: Thanks Horusaem, nice idea for a thread. Is Polish for valve or tube, lampa or lampy ? It's such a good description. I think in Wales we just use the English words, I've worked with Welsh speaking engineers in the past and I can't remember them using a Welsh word to describe a component.However, my favorite Welsh word is for microwave oven, popty micro-don or popty ping although microwaves don't go "ping" anymore.

content: Quote from: ebastler on April 09, 2018, 09:03:19 pmEven in English, Condensor was the mainstream word up to around 1940 (in the US, anyway). Some industries continue to use the term, like the condensor in points ignition systems (its purpose is to suppress arcing of the points, if you were wondering), still available for maintaining older engines.

content: Quote from: BrianHG on April 09, 2018, 08:36:06 pmThe Hebrew "Kabal" actually follows the exact same logic that derives "Capacitor" from "Capacity" in English. Keeping in mind that the British ruled the area from 1917 to 1948, one can probably make an interesting technological-historical-etymological study out of this

content: Quote from: capt bullshot on April 09, 2018, 08:08:53 pmI was working on a bit of German gear, where the schematic showed a circle with wires going into & out of it.The thing was labelled a "Drossel".The actual component was potted.I assumed it was an Inductor, but all the other German schematics called that an "Induktivität", so I thought I'd better check it out.My wife was born in Germany, but her Dad was Polish, & she was brought up using three languages interchangeably, ( or a mixture), so was no help.I asked a lady at work, but all she came up with was the bird reference.I went with my "gut", as logically an Inductor would be appropriate in that position.It looks to me that the EE who designed the device was of an earlier generation, used the term " Drossel", as I might use "choke", & drew it as a circle in his original rough sketch.The Draftsman was perhaps of a later generation, so no more idea than I of what a "Drossel" was, hence the mystery circle.

content: Quote from: vk6zgo on April 10, 2018, 01:05:20 amIf the actual component was potted, my guess would be "Drossel" - choke. The symbol you describe is unknown to me, do you have a picture you can post, maybe I can say something from the context?Yes, there are differences between choke / Drossel, inductor / Induktivität, coil / Spule:"Drossel" is an inductor used e.g. in filters or DC/DC converters (e.g. "Speicherdrossel" for the inductor in a buck converter).For a resonant tank, one would say "Spule", but never "Drossel""Inductivität" is a general term and also means inductance (for the Henry value of a inductor) as well as inductor (the thing)There's also a subtle difference for transformers:"Transformator" is more the power (line frequency stuff) related one,You'd say "Übertrager" e.g. for a small signal or audio transformer, often this term is also used for a SMPS transformer.A pulse transformer would be rather an "Impulsübertrager" than an "Impulstransformator", though the latter will be understood.

content: Quote from: BrianHG on April 09, 2018, 08:36:06 pmI believe this is from the latin roots of this word: "condensare" - which means something like "dicht zusammendrängen" - to put something tighly together. It is used for condensing steam (put water molecules tighly together to make water out of steam) and also collecting electrons on the plate of a capacitor.In German, "Kondensator" is the same word for the thing condensing steam and collecting electrons, so the older English term condenser / condensor was used the same way (IMO and afaik).

content: If that's meant to be Welsh (you don't actually say) then in practice the Welsh don't have words for technology. Yes, some Welsh language enthusiasts (zealots might be closer to the truth) have back-invented Welsh words for technology, science, and technological artefacts, but they aren't actually used by the general Welsh speaking population. I know this because I used to sit next to a native Welsh speaker who did tech support for all our Welsh speaking customers. Her conversations with them were in Welsh, but were peppered with the English words for technology, for which strangely she dropped into her everyday English accent - it was truly weird to listen to.

For a time they published a catalogue in German. All small cutting pliers were labeled 'auch/besonders zum Schneiden von Bleidraht geeignet ('usable/suitable for cutting wires made of lead') For years! And then you have some Homo Deltaminus stand before you and tell you that XBrand cutters had been bought, but no, they can't be used because the are only for lead wire, so you can't cut copper wire, nono!If someone needs it explained, ask - I try. It is real! After 1990!
