I'm of the strong opinion, that we should use the actual word "Save" whenever the space constraints allow us to do so.
I've spent countless hours explaining to my grandparents that the dustbin icon actually means "delete", and if you want to share a picture, you press the button with the three node graph.
- greenyoda 5y agoUsing a word like "Save" in place of an icon could be problematic when translating into another language in which it was a much longer word.
