Yes, In Finnish Tracker is "Seuraaja", which actually means "follower"
(a dog in logo is a follower). I was first considering "Jäljittäjä"
which is the correct translation for "tracker", but "Seuraaja" is a
better solution in Finnish. One meaning of the word "Seuraaja" is
quite near the meaning of word "Jäljittäjä".
Deskbar is simply "Työpöytäpalkki", a compound word from "Työpöytä"
(Desktop) and "palkki" (bar).
Replicant is a bad, but "Relikantti" is a correct translation, but it
is a very rare word in Finnish and unknown for the most Finnish
people, I think.
