Phrase chapters, one for each Pandagoo screen
202 phrase cards in nine chapters, filed by the screen where each line appeared and ordered the way an order moves through the site.
How a phrase card is laid out
Each card starts with the archived wording, drawn in the style of the interface element it belonged to, so a button looks like a button and a status looks like a tag. Under it come three lines: where the wording was seen, what it meant, and your move. Long notices are shortened to their opening words followed by an ellipsis and explained in full in our own words.

Why sorted by screen and not from A to Z
A message on screen is easier to understand next to its neighbours than next to whatever word happens to share its first letter. "Pending to pay difference" makes sense beside "Product balance due" and "Pay Difference", which appear on the same order. Filed by screen, a chapter also reads as a description of that screen, which helps when you have no screenshot to go on.
For the times you do not know the screen, the phrase finder searches every chapter at once.
Limits of an archive with no screenshots
The stored copy of the site kept text, not pictures. Where a card says a line appeared next to a box or under a button, that placement is our reading of how the text was grouped in the code, checked against how the same template normally lays out forms. The mock-ups at the top of each chapter are drawings, not captures.
Numbers that the server filled in when a page loaded, such as fees, route prices and some limits, are missing. Cards show them as the archive does, in curly brackets, and say plainly when a value is unknown.
