Adding localizers to see if they can find a work around for this.

Ton, If we don't translate SIM to simkaart but keep it SIM, it is still clear to the user what is meant and i think that it just fit the screen.

[Ton [:Tonnes]]

I no longer see any text next to the SIM icon in the current builds for any locale. Is this still valid? If so, it looks like there is plenty of room to wrap to a next line.

Tim: I wouldn’t use SIM instead, certainly not when simkaart is also visible in the same screen. I’d rather leave out ‘een’ or use ‘kaart’ only, but even that may not be sufficient.

Today's 1.3 build from Geeksphone has exactly the same problem, no difference in the message format.

Moving this to the localization component for now.

still a issue on build 20140325004509 1.3.0.0-prerelease

I still suggest that you change 'simkaart' to sim to make it fit

This is not a issue with build 2.2 on a flame, build 20140927040203

[Ton [:Tonnes]]

The bug is not really about 2.x if you ask me. It was solved in master though by the ability to shrink fonts.

Nevertheless, for the versions involved:
1. This string cannot be altered in any way for reasons mentioned (no shortening to ‘sim’ in Dutch, which would also leave it too long)
2. This string is used elsewhere when starting the Usage app itself displaying very well, and hence very similar / almost corresponding to other widget entity strings (‘see widget-’) that do so as well.
3. Following 2, this is a shared string in the first place, which would need a separate "reusing strings" bug and hence new entities.

But foremost, I think this and other Usage app strings are totally useless to mention in the message tray. It's sort of like a "Put in some gasoline to use your rear screen wiper" message - i.e. Usage app strings are only relevant to mention when launching the app IMO, not when starting the phone to deliberately use it without a sim card or in airplane mode.

Comment 9

[Ton [:Tonnes]]

No longer an issue on 2.2/master, string is fully displayed due to smaller fonts.

Bug 1140418 was filed to have this and other related Usage app messages removed from the notification screen.

We've stopped shipping Firefox OS for phones. Thus resolving this as WONTFIX.
