Hi, In the company i work for the UX team writes all labels, error messages, UI components description, help messages, faqs, titles (and sometimes, SEO guidelines).
We focus on the "must have" information and "call to actions" for each interface Them, before product launch, all texts are reviewed by copywriters. Its a unusual process, but we´re always trying to align interaction design and brand translation goals, so we think the copywriters and I.A´s can work together to achieve real meaning in system messages for our users, in a specific language for each audience.

Hi, >From time to time I find myself struggling with writing very short describing text labels and titles for our web application's UI. Writing text labels and titles for the UI is much like writing road signs, people go by them in very high speeds and you have a limited amount of space. I wanted to ask, how many of you work in companies who hire full time copywriters? Part time? Do you have a special UI copywriter adviser outsourced? Or do you manage by yourselves and just advise anyone around you? Thanks, Amihay. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
