We need to translate some of our UI to English, and the question arises: When do I use "Abort", when "Cancel" as a button text? They seem rather interchangeable, and translate more or less to the same word in German (our source)... So, is there a difference? If so, what is it?
"Cancel" imply if an action is not started. "Abort" imply if an action is started and we do not want to do it. Cancel Dictionary Definition: If something is cancelled, it's been called off.
What is the difference between Canceling and Closing a Sales Order? On a sales order you have the option to either "cancel" or "close" the order. A sales order can be "cancelled" if it has no completed invoices against it. If the order does have completed invoices against it, the order can be "closed."
In my previous project we used the following:
Abort
.Cancel
.Also we use Abort
when some problem is found.
