German localization strings don’t fit the recording control #85

Closed zoul closed 8 years ago

zoul commented 8 years ago

@floschliep, the new German strings you have contributed in the last pull request are too long to fit the control. I have introduced some basic support for the German localization to the demo project, can you please run it in German and take a look? As an example, the Neuen Kurzbefehl eingeben “tip” displayed in the recording area is clipped. Is it possible to shorten the string? Thanks!

floschliep commented 8 years ago

I can shorten the strings, but the shorter the less descriptive they are. Here're the different versions:

Original	Long	Medium	Short
Type New Shortcut	Neuen Kurzbefehl eingeben	Neuen Befehl eingeben	Neuen eingeben
Use Old Shortcut	Alten Kurzbefehl nutzen	Alten Befehl nutzen	Alten nutzen

I am afraid only the shortest ones will fit. If they are acceptable, I’d stick with them, for I can’t see any other easy way out. Thank you for your help!
