Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The Trader action currently has buttons for the resource types and "[Pay selected goods] [Done]".
Per boardgamearena.com/bug?id=58353 the second button originally said "Cancel", which was misleading for suggesting that it might reverse an already-made payment, or temporarily close the window. The bug report suggested changing it to "Done" and (seemingly in the absence of any developer activity for this game) a BGA admin stepped in to implement this.
But "Done" is still misleading for being somewhat synonymous with the Pay button: a player who knows they just want to select three resources and do the trade may click those resources and hit "Done". This causes the action to terminate without trading anything.
"No further trades" would be a clearer button text here.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Some more recent discussion of the Cancel/Done question at boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38301
Looking again at this I can't tell whether the string is being used anywhere else in the game, so it may be safer to revert it to "Cancel" than to refer specifically to the trading action.
