Hello,

I am having some trouble finding out what are the best labels and button texts for my application. Or also the best organization for menu items. I have read about having verbs for the text in button for example. I know most of the rules but never know wether to name a button "save" or "update".

My problem here are usability guidelines (mostly for for windows users). But another problem is that they're not so black-on-white since adaptations are needed for each application (and user).

My questions are: what should I be asking myself when I name a label or a button? Could anyone point me out to a good document that discusses usability guidelines?
