Which term would be appropriate to say "next" on a button within a sequence of pages?

Question

I have a digital wizard-like survey that has multiple pages with buttons "previous", "save" and "next" on it.

What term would sound more natural to label the button "Next", to prompt a user to proceed to the next page?

(1) Siguiente or (2) Seguinte?

"(1) Siguiente" Is not in Portuguese, so that's not even an option. — Hugo, May 26 '20 at 02:59

Cool, thank you! What about pt-PT are terms similar? – McV May 14 '20 at 09:48
@McV The answer from CIMend refers to pt-PT. – stafusa May 14 '20 at 22:52
I don't think that CIMend's answer is pt-PT. (If it is, it should say so! The question is asking for pt-BR.) In pt-PT installation wizards, I think that the idiomatic word for "next" is "seguinte". – ANeves May 15 '20 at 14:01

@McV the literal translation "salvar" is not used in pt-PT. We use guardar (or, more uncommonly, gravar). – Artefacto May 15 '20 at 15:34

Continuar também é utilizado e é equivalente a próximo – ClMend May 15 '20 at 09:32
Your answer offers two options for "next". It should explain their differences. – ANeves May 15 '20 at 13:58
Continuar is also plausible imho. – Hugo May 26 '20 at 03:01
