Hi -

Tamil translation:திரைக்காப்பு (அ) ஸ்கிரீன் சேவர்

Explanation:
A moving picture or pattern that appears on your screen when you have not used the mouse or keyboard for a specified period of time. This is also used to save the power by switching off the monitor after a specific period of time. So thiraikkaappu will be an apt translation or it can be transliterated for easier understanding.

படத்திரைக் காப்பி

Explanation:
SCREEN SAVER> 'படத்திரைக் காப்பி' அல்லது 'படத்திரை சேமிப்பி'.
பொதுவாக screen என்ற சொல்லிற்கு 'திரை' எனக்கூறலாம் . ஆனால், இங்கு screen என்பதை ''a screen with a picture'' எனக்கொள்ளவேண்டும். ஆதலால் Screen Saverஎன்ற சொல்லிற்கு 'படத்திரைக் காப்பி' அல்லது 'படத்திரை சேமிப்பி' எனக்கொள்ள வேண்டும். ஏனனில் இங்கு நாம் படத்திரையை சேமிக்கிறோமே தவிர வெறும் திரையை சேமிப்பதில்லை.

Example sentence(s):

எனது கணினியின் படத்திரைக் காப்பியாக எனது செல்லப் பூனை பாப்பாவின் படத்தை பொருத்தியுள்ளேன்.

திரைக்காப்பு (அ) அசைகாப்பு (அ) அசையடவு

Explanation:
All these three terms can represent the source term since they refers to the purpose (safeguarding the display activating a non static design) of screensavers.
