Description Martin Schmidkunz 2009-02-20 13:44:38 UTC

According to the YaST style guide "Abort" should not be used in YaST modules anymore.
The reasons for that are
* consistency with dektop labels (GNOME & KDE use both "Cancel" as label)
* conistency within YaST modules (some use "Cancel", some use "Abort" and having one label will make the work easer for translators, look the whole YaST more professional and icrease usability)
* consistency with YaST libraries like popup.ycp which uses "Cancel"
* "Abort" has a disrespecful connotation in English

Please replace the "Abort" string in summary.ycp with "Cancel"

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Miso!
Stano asked for no more button changes in Code 11 because this might lead to even more inconsistencies (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478089 )
I added yourself in CC, maybe you can help there with some ideas as you already created a kind of button template.

Thanks and cu,

Martin

As it turned out that the whole discussion needs a lot more effort than I thought it has been moved to FATE #120373: Unified Button Labels

I added you as interested and I think, it makes a lot of sense to wait for the outcome of the fate process than to fix something now which maybe unnecessary work.

Thanks for taking care and have a nice weekend!

Cu,

Martin
