<title>Escribiendo estilos</title>

<p>El texto juega un papel importante en las interfaces de usuario. Tómese su tiempo para asegurarse de que cualquier texto que use está escrito claramente y es fácil de entender.</p>

<section id="guidelines">
<title>Guías</title>

<p>Su objetivo principal debe ser asegurarse de que el texto es fácil de entender y rápido de leer.</p>

<list>
<item><p>Mantenga el texto corto y conciso. Esto mejora la velocidad de comprensión del usuario. También reduce la expansión del texto cuando se traduce (recuerde que el texto inglés traducido se puede expandir hasta un 30% en algunos idiomas).</p></item>
<item><p>No reduzca su texto hasta el punto de perder significado</p></item>
<item><p>Use words, phrases, and concepts that are familiar to the people who will be using your application, rather than terms from the underlying system. This may mean using terms that are associated with the tasks your application supports. For example, in medicine, the paper folder that contains patient information is called a “chart”. Hence, a medical application might refer to a patient record as a “chart” rather than as a “patient database record”.</p></item>
<item><p>Use the standard GNOME terms when referring to parts of the user interface, such as ‘pointer’ and ‘window’. The HIG can be used as a reference in this regard.</p></item>
<item><p>Avoid repetition where possible.</p></item>
</list>

</section>

<section id="capitalization">
<title>Mayúsculas</title>

<p>Two styles of capitalization are used in GNOME user interfaces: header capitalization and sentence capitalization.</p>

<section id="header-capitalization">
<title>Mayúsculas en la cabecera</title>

<p>Header capitalization should be used for any headings, including header bar headings and page, tab and menu titles. It should also be used for short control labels that do not normally form proper sentences, such as button labels, switch labels and menu items.</p>

<p>Ponga en mayúsculas la primera letra de:</p>

<list>
<item><p>Todas las palabras de cuatro o más letras.</p></item>
<item><p>Verbos de cualquier longitud, tales como «Ser», «Son», «Es», «Ver» y «Añadir».</p></item>
<item><p>La primera y la última palabra.</p></item>
<item><p>Hyphenated words; for example: “Self-Test” or “Post-Install”.</p></item>
</list>

<p>Por ejemplo: «Crear un documento», «Buscar y reemplazar», «Documento no encontrado».</p>

</section>

<section id="sentence-capitalisation">
<title>Mayúsculas en las frases</title>

<p>Sentence capitalization should be used for labels that form sentences or that run on to other text, including labels for check boxes, radio buttons, sliders, text entry boxes, field labels and combobox labels. It should also be used for explanatory or body text, such as in dialogs or notifications.</p>

<p>Ponga en mayúsculas la primera letra de:</p>

<list>
<item><p>La primera palabra.</p></item>
<item><p>Any words normally capitalized in sentences, such as proper nouns.</p></item>
</list>

<p>For example: “The document cannot be found in this location.” “Finding results for London.”</p>

</section>
</section>

<section id="ellipses">
<title>Elipsis (…)</title>

  <p>Use an ellipsis (…) at the end of a label if further input or confirmation
  is required from the user before the action can be carried out. For example,
  <gui>Save As…</gui>, <gui>Find…</gui> or <gui>Delete…</gui>.</p>

  <p>Do not add an ellipsis to labels such as <gui>Properties</gui> or
  <gui>Preferences</gui>. While these commands open windows that can
  incorporate further functionality, the label does not specify an action, and
  therefore does not need to communicate that further input or confirmation is
  required.</p>
