UI controls in Russian

In order not to mourn Boomburum about the half-empty hub, I will publish here this collection of Russian names of graphical controls (widgets) that we use in our own and those of others. Moreover, such a crib in any case, I am sure, will not hurt: it happens that at the most inappropriate moment the right word comes out of the head and flies out.

Many terms may seem trivial and obvious, but there are some for which I have not found good, valid translations (for example, grid, toggle button, extender). T.ch. everyone is welcome to comment for additions, corrections, reflections.

But who needs it at all?
We will not go into linguistic discussions. What is important for us here is that some of us have to compile user manuals, contracts, procurement or tender documentation (including sometimes taking into account the requirements of GOST or other regulations). It is easier and safer for programmers to speak Ranglish between themselves, but there are lawyers, PEOs and other clerks involved in coordinating this documentation. There are certain rules (written and not really) in the law. T.ch. the degradation of Russian in IT does not yet shine ((:


Some vendors may have their own unique terms. But I collected the most basic ones here (sorry for the lack of pictures for some of the controls):

PS: Finally, I would like to wish hellish torment to those who translate Paging not as “paginated output” or, at worst, “paging”, but “ wa pagination”, forgive me, Lord. )))
