I wrote it already often in other threads, but I argue once more against the term “List”.
The team should name the thing “Listbox”.
“A Listbox shows a list.”
- That sentence makes sense.
But: “A List shows a list.”
- That sentence looks strange.
Also the side menu shows a list of entries.
Not to be confused with a List that also shows a list …
PLEASE dear team, use only unique names for Objects!
“Listbox” would be such a unique and also precise name.
It’s impossible to become confused with something else.
And once again I mention the problems to translate all the terms in other languages.
There wouldn’t be any need to translate a name like “Listbox”.
But for “List” the translators are forced to hallucinate a completely new name that would work in the other language.
“Ich habe eine List, die …”
– That simply doesn’t work in German. The thing needs a name that can not become confused with something else.
