rotation control button label

Jon,

 

I'm concerned that typical users don't know what rotation means in the
context of a carousel. If they make an association to a real-life carnival
carousel, they might get it. But, it feels more than kind of techy.

 

So instead of a button label like "Start Carousel rotation," I'd like to
suggest we label the button:

*	"Stop automatic slide show" when the carousel is rotating.
*	"Start automatic slide show" when the carousel is not rotating.

 

I toyed with whether or not to include the word "automatic." I think it is
worth the extra syllables. If users are familiar with slide shows, they are
usually manually controlled, like in a presentation. So, they might think
stopping the show is like closing a show window or something. So, I think
the word "automatic" adds significant meaning.

 

Once aria-roledescription is properly supported, users will know where the
slides are and what they are, so that will help too.

 

Input from others is welcome.

 

Thanks,

Matt
