Best practices
将后台语言阐释给普通用户,如何让语言有感情。
- Clear
- Concise
- Useful
Clear
去掉专业术语
Eg: 登陆不成功提示L Failure : An authentication error has occurred => Sign - in Error : A Sign-in error has occurred.
清晰不代表要请准, 只要你的典型用户能够明白就行。
注意动词
Sign - in Error : A Sign-in error has occurred. = > Sign - in Error : You entered an incorrect password .
注意用户可以采取的动作,而不是什么功能。
Concise
Economical:每一个单词都要有用处。
不一定一定需要Header。 有用再放,不要为了设计为了控件将内容硬塞进去。 Sign - in Error : You entered an incorrect password . = > You entered an incorrect password
Frontloading
Putting what’s most important first : 将最重要的内容放在最前面。
因为我没不会阅读屏幕上的每一字,我们是扫读。F-shaped .
You entered an incorrect password = > Wrong password
Useful
内容帮助用户进行下一步。
CTA : Call to action (text that spurs the user’s next step ) Wrong password , OK = > Wrong password , Try Again / Recover Password
Brand voice
Style that guides your writing & reflects your product’s character. 思考产品的关键功能是什么让你的产品区别于其他产品。
Wrong password = > That password doesn’t look right
