Computer is called 'Kanini' in the Tamil language. How is it called in Telugu? How it is called in Japanese? How it is called in German? How it is called in all the languages of the world?

The 'Eiffel' in Eiffel Tower is Eiffel in all languages as it is the Frech name for a monument made by the French. Likewise Computer is a name of a product made by someone who gave it the name of Computer. Why should it be dfferent in different languages?
