Description jean-louis 2011-08-02 20:23:15 UTC 
On a dutch version it show 'Systeeminformati' instead of the full string which is 'Systeeminformatie'.

It seems to be caused by a limited string length that is allowed in the field.

Could this be checked & fixed?

    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.

The old shell is gone (bug #790923), and the new one doesn’t have this problem.
