So, to me, having a title wrap over two lines seems okay. It isn't optimal, but it feels sane and it's an intentionally controlled behaviour that was tested for.
I'm honestly curious and would love to know: Is my feeling there perhaps something specific to English? Do different locales have different preferences that we could address somehow?

Really, beyond wrapping over two lines, there are two options I can see right now from my end: make the title font smaller so that even the biggest title will fit, or make the whole thing wider. The second option is happening in the upcoming Maverick design (the one I linked to, which unfortunately didn't make it to the beta). It offers 700 pixels for the title, though with a larger font. In pure horizontal space, that's over 300 pixels more than in Lucid. The font being used for the title is about 1.2 the width of the one in the last slideshow.
Hopefully that will make the situation better.

I want to help the translations here be excellent, but I'm at a loss for
what else can be done. If something in particular would improve this,
please do let us know.
