See all- UI/UX TaxonomiesLink visible for attendees
Recently, we discussed The Naming of Things as it pertains to clear and consistent documentation. We're returning to taxonomies to consider the naming of user interface elements--field names, button labels, hint text, tool tips, etc.--which is sometimes also called UX writing or microcopy. The words we use in the UI are the most visible handles for building taxonomical structures in our user's minds, and they can help or hinder users in accomplishing their goals.
- Are you a UX writer now? Have you been one previously?
- If you're not in a UX-writing role, have you contributed to decisions about UI text--or wished that you could?
- What's the state of the UI text where you are?
- Who's involved in creating UI text at your company? What's the process like?
- What do you find most interesting about UX writing? most challenging?
- What mechanisms do your products have for creating/managing UI text? properties files? JSONs? something else?
- What taxonomical structure does that mechanism provide for the UI text elements? Does it work well?
- How does your taxonomical structure affect UI text translation?
