Asking for some UX help as this string not understandable anymore.
THanks!

[Stephany Wilkes]

Delphine, are you asking for a string change or for UX/visual adjustment?

[Delphine Lebédel [:delphine - Use needinfo]]

Flagging Sebastian to see if he can maybe just put "More Keyboards" instead of "Add more keyboards", and see what his general input is about this

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

The string "Add more keyboards" is shared between the button and the pane/view it launches where it is used as header. Because it's not truncated on the button, it's okay to be truncated in the opening view as long as this is the only way to launch that dialog.

An alternative would be to change it to "Aktivierte Tastaturen" ("Activated keyboards"), but dropping the verb is likely against UX guidelines because it doesn't assure that people will understand that the button is a button.

The general solution would be to wrap long texts in headers and in normal text to two lines if necessary (similar to bug 892700).

Wontfixing it, feel free to reopen if you have other opinions/more information.

I think the future solution for those strings might be to switch to L20n and put in some kind of context variable that allows us to switch to different strings for headers and buttons.

The currently used strings "Aktivierte Tastaturen" und "Tastaturen auswählen" aren't cropped.
