Stuff like this

What about confusing stuff like this here (screenshot) in the 3.5.x release?

How can HIGs be formulated to avoid that?

- avoid shortcuts?
- mind the poor translator?
- think?
- talk with users?
- ...

I am not sure formal HIG would help. What is really needed is a formal review process where real world persons meditate on each dialogue and find out what's wrong.

As of the screenshot a simple: A question as 'What does the user want from this module?' would lead to a complete redesign.
