GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 705572
"Privacy" label too narrow for some locales

Created attachment 250976 [details] Cut-off label in shell When translating the label for the Privacy panel, some languages require too many characters for the translation to appear in full. For the ga locale, the translation is "Príobháideachas", but the label is cut off halfway into the final "a". From looking at the .desktop file, it seems likely that at least one or two other locales are experiencing this issue. Image attached.

commit b3be07609a9bae43947ee3e59d8982a7715c9acf Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Thu Apr 7 14:22:50 2016 +0200 panels: Fix truncated panel names for larger fonts Note that this fix will not automatically fix translations, which will need to add soft-hyphens (U+00AD) to their translations themselves, and will not fix larger fonts for which the split up syllables end up being bigger than the maximum text width. It's the best we can do without redesigning the Settings shell, which is already something planned. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647087#c13 Translators, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.internationalization.general/33633 for more information.
A couple of notes: - There's no component for Gaelic in the l10n module - Having a ".Other" component at the top would be better than trying to find it in the middle of the components list.
The old shell is gone (bug #790923), and the new one doesn’t have this problem.
