In Chinese, as well as in possibly other languages, the direct translation of "Cloud" and "Computing" will be adopted. If the direction translation of "Cloud" and "Computing" is meaningless in Chinese, so it is in English. It is just a name and not a summary. And a name doesn't have to contain a lot of information.
