Clarify the challenge of word replacements in UIs in specific domains #125

Open quaid opened 2 years ago

Some of the terms on our list may have special meaning in other domains, for example:

"parent/child" has a meaning in healthcare but in finances it might be "parent/dependent". So a recommendation about the term "parent/child" shouldn't apply to the UI in those cases.

We should clarify that our terms should be considered with regards to UI, but we cannot know all the special cases, so a domain expert should be consulted when making UI language change considerations.

Hi @quaid, I'd like to work on this. How do I get started??
