@UX: Can we please have shorter labels for these controls in this tabpage?
Comment 3 Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia) 2017-01-16 07:53:37 UTC
Maybe something like:
--------------------
*Icon Size*
  Sidebar:
  Notebookbar:
  Toolbar:

*Icon Style*
  Theme
--------------------

Although the dialog should expand itself if the widgets don't fit. Tomaž did something similiar for the Area style dialog.

The labels in english are short, so this is a french translation issue.

@Sophie: Any thoughts?

View options in Finnish, 5.2.4

It's even worse with Finnish. You can't see the dropdowns.

first - not only french, and russian also (see bug 105403)
second - not fact, that it is translation problem, because in 5.2 this wasn't

No way to reduce the length of the strings, each word is needed. Maybe change it as Samuel suggested by adding a generic 'Icon Size' string. Sophie

Well that relates to the translated text in the graphics output section being to long.

Well then we either fix the dialog not resizing to its needed size and/or change the strings as Samuel suggested.

My suggestion for changing the strings

*Icon*

 Toolbar:
 Sidebar:
 Notebookbar:
Comment 12 Heiko Tietze 2017-01-19 12:36:48 UTC
Shorter labels make sense, but in the end the l10n needs to be concise. Perhaps you can add something to the tooltip. Or how does it work with line wrapping (\n)?

Is the fixing commit hiding somewhere in here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=grep&q=options
Comment 15 Martin Srebotnjak 2017-03-27 07:27:14 UTC
For Slovenian the localization cannot be shortened so Heiko, please address the issue of UI, not force localizers into translations that do not make sense.
See attached screenshot from OSX.

Nothing to add to the tooltip and no possibility for line wrap (where do you wrap the string?). If the dialog has the wrong size, change it or reorganize the labels so that we don't have to repeat "Size of the icons" in each string. There is no bug in l10n here :) Sophie

Note to myself: OK, forwarding this to UX was useless; organize your time better and just do it yourself.
