User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

Opened Firefox Home Page in the Danish language version of beta 16.0, Build 14639 on an iPhone 5SE

Actual results:

See the attached screenshot.

Two of the localized strings - 'Bogmærker' (Bookmarks) and 'Hentninger' (Downloads) break over two lines in a non-standard way (ie. not defined by a syllable and without a hyphen).

I'm guessing this is the case for all locales having long translations for one or more of the strings.

Expected results:

The design should either allow longer strings or break the strings in a sane way.

Note that some locales have translations that are very much longer than the English strings. See eg. https://transvision.flod.org/string/?entity=browser/chrome/browser/browser.dtd:bookmarksMenu.label&repo=gecko_strings

I am able to reproduce this issue in "Danish" on build 16.0(14639) on iPhone SE (see attached screenshot). This is not reproducible for "Catalan" which has also very long strings. The string appear to be correctly truncated in "Catalan".

The issue is fixed in the latest beta build (14696 - "fix chinese locale bug). Yay!

So I'm closing this issue.
