✕Common Mistakes

  • Clique le bouton 'Ajouter au panier'.

    The preposition ‘sur’ is required after ‘clique’ when referring to a surface or UI element.

  • Cliquez sur le bouton 'Ajouter au panier' when speaking to a single friend.

    Use ‘Clique’ for informal ‘tu’ and ‘Cliquez’ for formal/plural ‘vous’. Mixing registers can sound odd.

  • Ajouter au panier' sur le bouton.

    The phrase ‘sur le bouton’ must precede the label; swapping order changes meaning.

Cultural Tip

In French UI design, ‘Ajouter au panier’ is the standard wording for adding items to a shopping cart. For formal contexts (e.g., customer‑service emails or corporate sites) prefer the polite imperative ‘Cliquez…’. Avoid mixing informal and formal registers in the same interface.
