Cultural Tip
In French UI design the words Oui/Non are preferred over English Yes/No. The informal imperative “Appuie” is common in mobile apps aimed at a younger audience, but for more formal software or when addressing multiple users you should switch to the polite form “Appuyez”. Also, remember to keep the quotation marks around the button label to make it clear that you are referring to a UI element.
