Hello Loren,


actually, "grokking" was translated to French once: AFAIK this word was 1st 
used in Heinlein's novel "Stranger in a strange land".

When this novel was translated to French the translator used "niouquer", if 
you can believe it. Problem is, the word never made it into mainstream or 
even jargon French. I don't know of any computer-jargon equivalent to 
"grokking" in French.

Omar started a thread on the French Zope list about how to translate this 
title so I think we'll eventually come up with something acceptable.


Cheers.

Alexandre
