We translate all of our stuff in to up to 16 different languages... if
you have a translation company that knows what they are doing, there is
no reason they should not be able to translate things.
For instance, French does have customized acronyms. They use those for
French. If a language does not have a translation, we instruct the
translators to provide a translation for the acronyms in-line with the
rest of the text (Acronym, followed by English text, followed by
translation). In the specific case of "Ethernet", languages that do not
have a translated word, like Turkish, just use "Ethernet".
