Overly long translated strings

[Ulrich Goertz]

Hi Christian, hi all,

with a change in Numbas a couple of months ago(?), the layout was changed so that the German translations for "Save answer" (currently "Abschnitt einreichen") and "Answer saved" (currently "Antwort gespeichert") are too long for the <button> element in which they are displayed, see the attached screenshots.

I would like to get some feedback on how best to proceed. (Not sure whether this group is the right place for this - feel free to move the discussion somewhere else; but I thought that possibly this might also concern translations into other languages.)

Would it be easy to make this column in the CSS grid a little larger? Or would it be better to change the translations? In this case that would be fairly easy, "Antwort speichern" would be just short enough (at least in Firefox, but I'd hope this is not browser-dependent(?)) and "Gespeichert" would do for the second one.

Best regards,

Ulrich

Oh whoops, I should test in other languages more often!

I've made the button a bit wider. It's only restricted in size on wide screens, so I think this is fine. On narrow screens, the button, score and feedback messages are all displayed on top of each other and can use the full width if necessary.

Great, thanks a lot, Christian!
