Explanation:
Sometimes, especially for common terms like "interface", and depending on context, audience, etc., terms like these are not translated, so check with your outsourcer and check your context. I have used each of these words in German translations, just not in this particular combination, so just use some common sense and your good judgement,

Cheerio,
Dierk

I have also seen plenty of English expression in German documents. I still prefer to find a good German equivalent, though. But here, your suggestion may be the best option.
Thanks for your help.
