Something close to Jantraganak - Jantra means machine, ganak means
counter.
Like Jantramanab means robot, because manab means human being.

These are Bengali words, no?
Alex wants Hindi translations.

---> Ah not much difference between Bengali and Hindi -- make that 'Jantraganak' to 'Yantrganit' or 'Ganityantr' and
'Jantramanab' to 'Yantrmaanav' or 'Maanavyantr' ;-)

Thanks a lot for the post guys.
Yantrganit and Jantraganak sounds good.

Does 'Sanganak Vigyan' sound right for 'Computer Science'.

I downloaded a English-Hindi dictionary at this site. It is pretty
good but a bit dated. It is located at
