The word means an area that is suitable for a ship to anchor. Naturally, when you translate the Samsung UI to Finnish, you do not write the name of the city ("Anchorage", as you see in Finnish maps), but the Finnish translation "to anchor". This is in my daughter's Samsung phone. Finnish translation of the UIQ calendar entry UI is quite funny too. The calendar entry contains a place where you can write the chair(man) of the meeting (email address). The chair of the meeting translated into Finnish tells that you really are a chair (the furniture object; tuoli in Finnish). In Finnish you would say spokesman (as translated to English).
