On Options flyout, currently we are using "Yes" and "No" for switch controls. We should change that to the standard "On" and "Off".
Summary: Change - Use "On" and "Off" for switch controls instead of "Yes" and "No" → Change - Use "On"/"Off" for switch control instead of "Yes"/"No"
Whiteboard: [metro-mvp?]
Microsoft is inconsistent about this; for example People and Store use Yes/No, while Mail, Maps, and Music use On/Off. Are there written guidelines? Ah, found them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465475.aspx > Replace the On and Off labels when there are more specific labels > for the setting. If there are short (3-4 characters) labels that > represent binary opposites that are more appropriate for a particular > setting, use them. For example, you might use "Show/Hide" if the > setting is "Show images." > > Don't replace the On or Off label unless you must. You should use > the default labels unless there are labels that are more specific > for the setting. So it sounds like On/Off is preferred over a different generic string like Yes/No.
