  As someone still watching this ticket: I honestly never understood why OOUI 
hard-codes 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/GOJU/browse/master/src/styles/elements/ButtonElement.less$15>
 a `nowrap` in this situation. It's never helpful, especially not in an 
environment where we have to consider over 200 <https://translatewiki.net/> 
languages. It might make sense to combine it with `text-overflow: ellipsis` in 
situations where we know the end of the string is not that important, or when 
we know the full text can be found somewhere else. But this is not the case for 
a button label. When a button label is long there is a reason for that. We 
should never just cut off an arbitrary piece.
  
  Reducing the text to "Publish" in English unfortunately doesn't make the 
issue go away. Any of the over 200 localizations might still be significantly 
longer, as @Nikki demonstrates.
  
  I strongly suggest to embrace these "limitations", let button labels wrap and 
choose **meaningful** labels that make it easy to understand what a button does.
