An addendum: Respect the domain specific, professional terminology. Nothing is as annoying as an application where the developer has no clue about how term are used, but try to guess, or use some sort of dictionary lookup, missing a lot of the usage traditions.

For non-English UIs you have the additional problem that the developer / translator believes that the target language uses the same terms as in English, or a word very close. In some cases, this may be terribly wrong.

Have a professional from the application domain look over you UI with special attention to terminology. This applies even to English UIs.
