⚠️ The trap
'Driver' in Italian means both a device driver (software) and a person who drives. However, in formal Italian a person who drives is 'conducente' (public transport) or 'autista' (personal driver). The tech meaning is always 'driver'. Do not confuse the two.
To say "driver (software driver, a person who drives, a golf club)" in Italian:
N/A — loanword for tech; 'conducente/autista' for person
"driver" in English means:
driver (device driver, software driver); also: driver (person who drives)
Example
"Devo installare il driver per la stampante."
"I need to install the driver for the printer."
