Thanks for noting! Referring back to the recent posts in the nested replies topic, and your keen observation: > [@Introducing nested replies](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-nested-replies/402812/13): > > I always felt the “reply” labels could be more specific – so a [while back](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-a-way-to-link-replies-after-they-are-posted/320175/16) I used some custom CSS to add context: play_button screenshotplay_button CSS > [@Introducing nested replies](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-nested-replies/402812/14): > > the issue with this solution is it won’t be translated in the UX for members who have a non-english language setting in their preferences edit: i have solution here: I share the same concern that @ToddZ noted: the button labeled simply **Reply** needs to be more specific. Some users may assume that **Reply to Topic** is just a rephrasing of **Reply** , rather than understanding that the two actions are different. As a moderator, I gave up years ago trying to fix cases where a user clicked the wrong reply button. With nested replies, I can see that same workload returning again. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reply-button-labels/402911)._
