Is Portapapeles the correct translation for Clipboard?

Question

In technical terms, what is the correct way to refer to a computer's Clipboard in Spanish? The automated translators say it's "Portapapeles"

Answer 1

Yes, portapapeles is the correct translation; here it is its meaning, according to the RAE:

portapapeles.

1. m. Inform. Depósito temporal en la memoria de una computadora donde se coloca información para utilizarla posteriormente.

As you can see, portapapeles is a temporary deposit in a computer's memory to store information for a later use.

As a historical note, the word portapapeles was only recently accepted by the RAE and it will officially "appear in society" in the 23rd edition of the DRAE.
