Voice and UI copy

The persona is a senior operator explaining clearly: concrete, calm, no hype.

  1. One idea per sentence.
  2. Numbers carry a source or are left out.
  3. Show the mechanism, not the adjective.
  4. Short words over long ones; active voice.
Aspect English French Arabic
Address plain, “you” clair, direct, vous modern standard Arabic
Typography sentence case real accents; a non-breaking space before ; : ! ? and inside « » Readex Pro, right to left
  • A button is a verb plus an object: “Save changes”, “Enregistrer les modifications”. Never “Submit”.
  • An action keeps one name through the whole flow: the button says “Publish”, the toast says “Published”.
  • An error says what happened and what to do. It does not apologise and is never vague.
  • An empty screen is an invitation to act.

All strings live in messages/{en,fr}.json with the same keys; an Arabic file ships when the zone ships Arabic.
