Can you provide examples of false friends in computer science terminology

The search did not return detailed examples specifically listing false friends in computer science terminology directly. Based on general knowledge, false friends in computer science terminology are terms that sound similar or identical between different languages or fields but have different meanings, which can cause confusion.

Here are some illustrative examples of false friends in computer science terminology:

• Python (Programming Language) vs Python (Snake): In non-technical contexts, python is a snake, but in computing, it is a high-level programming language.
• Array vs Array (in English vs in some other languages): In English, “array” refers to a data structure or an arrangement. In some languages, a similar-sounding word may mean an unrelated concept.
• Bug vs Bug (English vs Spanish): In English, a “bug” in computing means a software error; in Spanish, “bug” does not exist as a native term and can be confused with “bicho” (insect) which is a different context.
• Execute vs Execute (English vs French “exécuter”): In English, “execute” in computing means to run a program, while in French it primarily means “to carry out” or “to perform” (general, not specifically computing).
• Library vs Library (English vs other languages): In English computing, a library is a collection of precompiled routines; in some languages, loanwords resembling “library” might mean physical book collections only.

For more precise and specialized false friends examples in computer science terminology across specific languages or fields, further focused linguistic and domain-specific research is typically needed.

If this is desired, additional focused exploration or fetching of specific article sections or glossaries could be done.

Would a detailed explanation of particular language pairs or terminological false friends be of interest?
