Inclusiveness
Localization
Keep long translations in mind
By making all UI components expandable you can make sure that even longer translations can be displayed (e.g. Spanish, or German)
Think about date and number formats
Different countries may have different date and number formats.
Avoid capitalization of non-DocuWare terms
This may cause translation errors because translators would expect to not translate capitalized terms
Gendered language
- Use the plural to avoid gendered language
Many languages lack gender-inclusive options. If gender-neutral language isn’t possible, then choose the expression that’s most understandable.
DocuWare is not a gender-specific product and can be used by a variety of users. Therefore, we must avoid gender-specific pronouns and instead use the “you” or plural form to address our users.
“{0}” cannot be matched to existing users.
They/them/theirs
“{0}” cannot be matched to any existing user.
He/him/his
She/her/hers
