FIFO queue is a fundamental concept in computer science and software engineering, universally used in both Brazilian and American tech communities. The English term 'FIFO queue' is often kept as-is in Portuguese technical documentation and conversations, though fully translated versions like 'fila FIFO' or 'fila de espera' are also common. This reflects the international nature of programming and computing terminology.
