none of them ring with me.
both "knopf" and "schalter" evoke quite specific images in my head, none
of which match with what you actually get (and "radiobutton" does neither)

i don't think this helps.
while the word "Feld" for the datatype might exist, i don't think it has
any practical relevance.
as wikipedia puts it (quoting a tutorial on C): „Der englische und
gängigere Begriff für Feld ist Array“.

no. it's just wrong, just like "Sackleinen", "Ringboden" and "Stramin"
(wtf?).
dict.cc also lists "Kanevas" (which would be a nice weirdo word that's
closely related to english original) or (surprise) "Canvas" as possible
translations of "canvas".
