With new multi-language interface there are some issues in some controls because English language is quite shorter than other language.

I attached some screenshots for request for small changes to the interface. Inlcude also some strings not translated to add to the language.

I made a PR about Italian language.

Thanks.

If you have the space in the GUI to enlarge the UI and use better the corrent UI space, why you cannot do it?

In some place the space for strings is too short and only English text is so short to use it.

For me there are some control that use a lot of space (not always needed) and reduce the space for strings.

Then if you reduce the input width of some field you can get the space to increase the text string lenght.

Please check windows n. 3/4/5

I do plan to have the controls automatically resize and/or reposition depending on the length of text.

This should solve the issue of overlapping text with all languages as the user interface will be able to adapt to the varying length of each string.
