Italian would expect what for "Back" or "Previous" btns?

Post by sims » Thu Aug 07, 2014 9:24 am

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

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

Check this document for a recommendation for generic command vocabulary in, at the moment, 20 languages.
ETSI ES 202 076 V2.1.1 (2009-08)
Human Factors (HF);
User Interfaces;
Generic spoken command vocabulary
for ICT devices and services
http://webapp.etsi.org/workprogram/Rep ... _ID=21046

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:

There are quite a few which might assist with creating accessible mobile device human interfaces.
