Although we use a lot of English words, I think it is better, if possible, to use equivalent Swedish words. As I was the first one to write about OS in Swedish media I had to do something about this. In the articles and in my book I have always told about the origin and the English name. But also that the closest Swedish words would be "Öppet Forum". Öppet means open and Forum, yes it is a kind of space, but not outer space. I was delighted to see that the French had come to the same solution and use the term "Forum Ouvert". And now that this also is a way to do it in hungarian. So this is how I do it when I introduce OS in Sweden in Swedish.
