Subordination: UI Text Guidelines

For text guidelines regarding a specific type of control, see the topic dedicated to that control type.

Do not use a subordinate control, the values it contains, or its units label as part of a larger grammatical unit. Don't use controls in the middle of a phrase, clause, or sentence. This is not a localizable design; the order of grammatical units varies from language to language.
Incorrect

Correct
If you have both a subordinate control and additional instructive text under a superior control, put the instructive text above the subordinate control.
