Thank you for reporting the problem in the Russian localization. I removed the word "this" from the second button and left "Skip step". It doesn't seem to lose its meaning. Please let me know if the buttons are now placed in one row. Updating the localization may take some time, i.e. you will have to wait for the release of one or two betas.

We've tested this on macOS as well and reproduced the issue.

Let's find out if there's any process for constraining character length in translations (ask flod?).

This will start as a spike, but we do see one possible avenue for fixing it - changing the vertical alignment of the content area. Making it flexy might resolve this issue (though would introduce issues of its own).
