title: Is there a standard computer vocabulary for German? for Spanish?
body: <p>I was given the task of coming up with shorter German words for the German version of our software.  </p>
  
  <p>It got me to thinking that there should be some sort of standard vocabulary for information technology somewhere.  Like there "have to be" terms that most (if not all) German computer users use for what English-speakers call <em>file</em>, <em>database</em>, <em>record</em>, <em>search</em>, <em>search terms</em>, <em>search hits</em>, <em>find and replace</em>, <em>delete</em>, <em>OCR</em> ... you get the idea.</p>
  
  <p>I found ISO 2382 on the ISO Web site, but it only seems to standardize English and French.  Is there an equivalent standard for German?  How about for Spanish, or for other languages?</p>
