Hi all, 

The Bemba Translation Team is in the process of translating tuxpaint. One challenge we have so far is that Bemba is a very expressive language. This means some words are not fitting on the buttons on the left menu. Also the hint/instruction messages are also being truncated at the bottom pane as a result of some long translations (see attached). Do you have any specific ways of catering for languages such as our with long words and lengthy descriptions? 

thanks 

Anthony
