There are two custom lists which list basically computer hardware terminology. Does anyone know of a list that focues on chinese required to navigate the menus in an OS？

Would be very handy for learning to use computers which are in chinese.

That's an interesting proposition, and one that Nick could certainly use (he insists on reading Paul Graham essays and playing this bizarre MMORPG entirely in Chinese). My Chinese isn't good enough to come up with the list with any accuracy or I'd offer to scrounge one up for you!

I've spent a fair bit of time searching online to no avail, I guess I will just have to set aside an afternoon to work on it.

xkfowboa, it will well worth the time, trust me :-)

I recently set my Skype, Gmail, MSN, Firefox and Facebook languages to Chinese. I was lost for two days, then very quickly caught up. Right now I'm looking at my Firefox window...

...and can read and understand it all. Some menu commands and dialog boxes still escape me, but even then I get by.

My advice: Take an afternoon and learn those words in your OS you don't know. You can always make a Custom List on Skritter and practice them later.
