"Back" and "Forward" aren't as obvious as they could be

Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The button at the bottom right of Ubiquity is labelled "Forward". This is moderately obvious, but it would be more obvious if it was "Continue". A verb is better than an adverb.

Similarly, "Back" would be better as "Go Back".

Triaged to Confirm. Anything to make installation clearer. I agree that action buttons should be verbs.

We're just using the GTK stock buttons here. Isn't it better for this to be consistent across the whole desktop?

Good point, the wording should be changed across GTK. I'll raise this upstream.

Matthew,

Any luck with this upstream? Do you have a bugzilla bug to link this against?

Thanks

This is now half-fixed, in that "Forward" is now "Continue".
