notification Explanation: In my understanding “提示信息” here could be 2 kinds of information: 1, details describing the previous “警告信息” as a further explanation; 2, instruction on how to operate after “警告信息” appears. In either case, “提示” could be just literally translated to be "notification". |

prompt Explanation: 报警信息 refers to text in error messages (This went wrong! Could be shown in a prompt or on a crash screen.) 提示信息 refers to text in message prompts (Hello!

Example sentence(s):
