If by "balance it out better" you mean avoiding the orphan shown in the German screenshot, that should be handled by widow and orphan control in GTK, not by hacking individual translations.
And generally, if the string should wrap at all, it should wrap because the combination of font size and window width is causing it to wrap, not because there's a manual line break inserted in the string. Translators would not, and should not need to, know what to do with a mid-sentence manual line break -- especially in languages that are much more compact or much more verbose. It would be awesome for someone to do a readability study on the optimum width for error messages in the Ubuntu font, and use that to set a standard width for GtkMessageDialog. Without that, though, the current width is within the standard recommended range (see <http://www.humanfactors.com/downloads/nov02.asp> for example), so I see nothing to be fixed here. ** Changed in: indicator-session (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: indicator-session Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: indicator-session Assignee: (unassigned) => Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831755 Title: Shut down dialogs should wrap text to 2 lines To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/831755/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
