Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks dear colleagues. I agree with Ms. Zamani. Also, screen saver is translated as پرده بان by فرهنگستان. However, screen=صفحه نمایش. So, for the lack of a better translation, can we agree with پرده بان for now? Or at least صفحه بان [haha]?

Asker: Hello dears. Thank you, but then what do you call mobile phones' screen protectors? They are also called محافظ صفحه نمایش, aren't they?

Explanation:
Dear Sophie,

Some English words do not have a direct translation in Farsi. The translation suggested by Reza means screen protector and is not used when people are referring to a screen saver in Farsi. Most Iranians use the screen saver term which is spelt: اسکرین سیور

Example sentence(s):
  • .بسیاری از اسکرین سیور‌هایی که دانلود می‌کنید دارای تنظیماتی خاص هستند
