Am making some navigation btns for a small app designed for use in Italy.
Anyone know what an Italian expect what for "Back" or "Previous" btns?
Precedente? Indietro? Something else??
TIA

Re: Italian would expect what for "Back" or "Previous" btns?
Hi sims,
Previous | Next
Precedente | Prossimo/Prossima
(Prossimo is used if you refer to a male object e.g. Next step = Prossimo passo; Prossima is used if you refer to a female object, e.g Next card = Prossima scheda. If in doubt, or the object is not made explicit, use the male version)
Back
Indietro
Undo
Annulla
Done
Fatto
OK
OK
Previous | Next
Precedente | Prossimo/Prossima
(Prossimo is used if you refer to a male object e.g. Next step = Prossimo passo; Prossima is used if you refer to a female object, e.g Next card = Prossima scheda. If in doubt, or the object is not made explicit, use the male version)
Back
Indietro

Check this document for a recommendation for generic command vocabulary in, at the moment, 20 languages.
Click for the PDF document in the upper right corner. While meant to create a minimally ambiguous command language for spoken commands in multilingual mobile device applications, it also represents a great starting point for command vocabularies generally.
Edit - 25 languages.

By the way, if you click on this search link, you will get a list of all published ETSI Human Factors recommendations and standards:
http://webapp.etsi.org/WorkProgram/Fra ... eTB=FALSE
There are quite a few which might assist with creating accessible mobile device human interfaces.
