Russian translation for number of civilizations too long

[yairm210]

Sounds like this can be solved with a shorter translation for min/max number of civilizations - any suggestions?

I am grateful to you for consulting with me :) I am more used to relying on developers, they better understand how to fix the flaw. I think that a shorter translation of some settings would be the best solution to this problem

Translators often do not really search for the context, so in a way they're not to blame.

Possibilities:

• Comment these in templates, telling the xlator "prease keep as sholt as possibre" ¹
• Additionally: Give the label a separately templated tooltip. Now it's possible to have "Max # Civs" on the label and "Upper limit to\nthe number of civilizations that\nwill be randomly chosen" as tooltip... Yesiknowmobile...

Footnotes

1. No disrespect meant. Got reminded of a chinese food chain having a bilingual menu - engrish on one side, rocar on the other. There were "spling lolls" on one side and - bingo - "loureaux plintemps" on the other. Bouffe excellente pour le bas prix. ↩

If this shortcoming cannot be corrected in any way, then it’s not scary :)

Another option: Wrap.

... the usual Label in Table and wrap will report prefWidth 0 which in turn ... That old kludge class just happened to work. Should try calling its optimizePrefWidth though, that's not automatic. Also maybe try a cleverer wrap width, with 60% column the sliders are still incomplete, haven't looked for what determines their min width...

Opinions?
