Using the Word Microsoft In English, it is prohibited to use MS as an abbreviation for Microsoft. Microsoft is not translated. It is handled as a proper noun in Estonian. It means that it is declined in all 14 cases: Nominative: Microsoft Genitive: Microsofti Partitive: Microsofti Allative: Microsoftile Adessive: Microsoftil Abaltive: Microsoftilt Illative: Microsofti Inessive: Microsoftis Elative: Microsoftist Translative: Microsoftiks Terminative: Microsoftini Essive: Microsoftina Abessive: Microsoftita Comitative: Microsoftiga Software Considerations This section refers to all menus, menu items, commands, buttons, check boxes, etc., which should be consistently translated in the localized product.

Menu titles, main titles of dialog boxes, group titles of options and group box titles as NOUNS. 2. Command titles as well as instructions as VERBS. 3. Names of option buttons, check boxes, and radio buttons can be translated as both NOUNS and VERBS. Preferably, they should be the same parts of speech as their equivalents in English. But again, do not forget to follow the rule of consistency. 49
