English term or phrase: abbreviation of "save" and "cancel" buttons?
Hi folks,

My client intends to abbreviate the above mentioned button names in Spanish because they do not want to adjust the UI of software. My question to you is: have you ever seen these buttons abbreviated? Can you give me some reasons why they should and should not be abbreviated?

Thank you so much for your thoughts!
