Use of abbr tag in EXIF message
Appearance
Fragment of a discussion from Support/LiquidThreads
Notwithstanding the above comments, I can see no reason why the translations of the above message have to use an abbreviation instead of the whole translation of counterclockwise. Assuming that the translation appears in an exif data box, as in this example, I can see no need to keep the translation short.
Furthermore, my personal preference would be to see CCW replaced by counterclockwise in the English version also. CCW may very well be an accepted abbreviation within photographic and computer circles, but wikis are generally supposed to be accessible to the general public, so if space is not short, why not write the whole word?
Sometimes, the number of characters to use is limited...
