Copied from the file, not written here
Write clear product microcopy for buttons, errors, empty states, and confirmations. Use when UI text is vague, corporate, or inconsistent in language (RU/EN).

UI Microcopy
Principles
- Verb + object on buttons: "Apply changes", "Применить"
- Errors say what happened + next step
- Prefer specific over clever
- Match locale of the product (don't mix RU/EN randomly)
Patterns
| Slot | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Primary CTA | Start free trial / Применить |
| Secondary | Cancel / Отмена |
| Danger | Delete project… |
| Empty | No items yet — Create first |
| Loading | Saving… |
| Success | Hosts updated |
Avoid
- "Submit", "OK" on ambiguous dialogs
- Blame: "You broke it"
- Technical dump as only message (
HRESULT 0x8007…alone)
Acceptance
- Another teammate can use UI without README
