          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 67227
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Options dialog: longer-than-in-English strings won't
                    fit
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.1.0.1 rc
         Component: UI
           Product: LibreOffice

Some translated strings at the Options dialog won't fit, because the allocated
room for them only allows for ~10...20% length increase compared to English
originals. But for several languages (Estonian, Finnish, German, French, to
name a few), translated strings are often longer than that, and thus get
chopped off at the end. Cases in point are listed below.

Options - Load/Save - General, key ID YS72Z:
en: _Edit document properties before saving
et: _Enne salvestamist muudetakse dokumendi o<chop here>madusi
fi: _Muokkaa asiakirjan ominaisuuksia ennen tallennusta
fr: Éditer les propriétés du document _avant l'enregistrement

VqGoW:
en: Save URLs relative to file system
et: Failisüsteemi URL-ide salvestamine suhtelise<chop here>na
fi: URL-osoitteen tallennus suhteessa tiedostojärjestelmään
fr: Enregistrer les URL relatifs au système de fichiers

AFFdp:
en: Save URLs relative to internet
et: Interneti URL-ide salvestamine suh<chop here>telisena
fi: URL-osoitteen tallennus suhteessa internetiin
fr: Enregistrer les URL relatifs à internet

Options - LibreOffice - View, 4iRsE:
en: Use system _font for user interface
et: Süsteemse _fondi kasutamine kasutajal<chop here>iideses
fi: Käytä käyttöliittymässä _järjestelmän fonttia
de: Syst_emschriftart für die Benutzeroberfläche verwenden
fr: _Utiliser la police système pour l'interface utilisateur

The above regressed sometime during 4.1 (or maybe 4.0) cycle, i.e. during
conversion to the new dialog style or whatsitcalled (they are all fine in 3.6);
the one below is older (chopped already in 3.6).

Options - LibreOffice Writer - Table, n6Bf9:
en: Fi~xed, proportional
et: ~Kindel, proportsionaa<chop here>lne
(fi, de, fr fit)

There are probably others, these just caught my eye in Estonian l10n.

The common denominator here is that they all occur in places where there are
two columns in the layout of the dialog.
