Title:
ubuntuone-control-panel does not adapt to length of translated
messages
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
Incomplete
Status in Ubuntu One Control Panel:
In Progress
Status in “ubuntuone-control-panel” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Backround:
English is one of the most compact written languages. As a result, translations are often longer than the original message.
This becomes a problem in ubuntuone-control-panel, where buttons and
textfields are not big enough to hold the Dutch (nl) translations,
which means they are cut, and the user cannot read them properly. (See
the attached screenshot).
Preferred solution:
Make buttons expand in size depending on the text on the label. As can be seen from the screenshot, there is plenty of room for the buttons to expand to the left, and this was taken on an 10.1' netbook.
Easiest solution:
Keep everything as it is, but add a translators comment to all relevant strings, specifying the length restrictions that apply to that particular string.
The relevant strings marked in the screenshot are:
"Bestandssynchronisatie wordt uitgevoerd..."
"Verbinding verbreken"
And the English source text is:
"File Sync starting..."
"Disconnect"
