How do you expect this to be localized?

How long should this label be there / when should it disappear?

Instead of it being an image label, could we just make a small div, and then the text in it, "New", could be localized and displayed?

From the design doc: The icon disappears when the menu/customize mode has been
opened three times or when a user clicks on the icon.

Yes, but "new" translated might be way longer than three letters...

That's something we will have to investigate. An alternate solution can be to just have a notification circle on new features. http://cl.ly/image/213b0j2K0r0g
