So what would you recommend as the two buttons to present for the question:
"Are you sure you want to cancel your subscription?"

Good question!

I'd try to avoid the word "cancel" in the alert text altogether. But since I'm not a native englisch speaker I can't think of something better at the moment. (I could tell you the german equivalent if that helped - which it doesn't. :})

Would something like "terminate your subscription" work? I really don't know.

Otherwise this could be the rare exception from the rule. Though keep in mind that users are used do associate "Cancel" with cancelling the current action and anything else *will* confuse *someone*.


bye. Andreas.
