Interesting.. In Polish this type of English influence I believe was largely constrained (although not entirely) to within IT profession. We have (and use) words for - "file", "folder", "save". Some exceptions that come to mind: "click" and "email". With concepts like "firewall" and "antivirus" we use English terms, but these are difficult to explain either way.

Feels like a wise choice: Use local words when there is a real-life analogy, use English terms when the analogy is missing or less obvious.
