| has gloss | deu: Technobabble (im deutschen auch Technobabbel) ist ein Kunstwort aus den Wörtern Technologie (engl. technology) und Gebrabbel (engl. babble). Üblicherweise bezeichnet man mit diesem Wort den Versuch in vielen Science-Fiction-Filmen und -Serien, futuristische oder unrealistische Vorgänge (beispielsweise das Beamen) durch eine Reihe von technologisch klingenden Ausdrücken zu erklären, die den Zuschauer die Existenz einer wissenschaftlichen Grundlage vermuten lassen sollen. Tatsächlich ist Technobabble allerdings meistens völliger Unsinn. Besonders in der Serie Voyager innerhalb des Star-Trek-Universums wurde häufig auf Technobabble zurückgegriffen. Exemplarisch sei die Episode Die Schwelle genannt. |

| has gloss | ita: Technobabble è un neologismo inglese con una certa diffusione anche in altre lingue. Il termine è un portmanteau, una fusione di technology (tecnologia) con babble (balbettamento) ed indica un discorso od un modo di parlare così pieno di gergo tecnico e scientifico da essere incomprensibile a chiunque non sia uno specialista del settore. È stato a volte tradotto in italiano come tecno bla-bla. Nell'ambito strettamente informatico si parla anche di computerese. |

| has gloss | nld: Technobabbel (een portmanteau van technologie en babbel) is een spraakvorm met veel jargon, buzzwoorden en esoterisch taalgebruik, waarmee een indruk van geloofwaardigheid gewekt wordt door mystificatie en afleiding. Technobabbel onderscheidt zich van jargon vanwege de poging jargon te presenteren aan buitenstaanders, zonder inzichtelijkheid of verklaring, om verkeerde of onverifieerbare argumenten verdienstelijk te doen lijken. |
