Not enough space for characters

[plykkegaard]

Shorten the text, use abbreviations, I am sure it is fixable within current UI limitations

@RoxyQuarry I do not know what problem you have, seriously, I repeat that the Spanish translation is of an EXCELLENT QUALITY. Translators CANNOT SEE in real time WHERE THE TEXTS GO. If you are going to say that the translation sucks because of two stupids texts that are out of a box, I would really love to see you translate them.

With every update there are many language errors that are corrected, don't suffer. I ask again for RESPECT for the people who use their time so that you can enjoy the game.

[plykkegaard]

Yep, suggest a translation

[RoxyQuarry]

@chopoland For the love of God I am not saying that the translations are bad, the translations are accurate, my problem is the UI. It's the scaling ok, doesn't it seem obvious. The translations are great but my problem is SCS could do something about our static UI or mess with the font or font size to help make the text fit the box. IS THIS CLEAR? If I were to define the meaning of quality, it's the small details, accuracy and the fluency of the design, that's quality and I don't see it here, the only that's right is the accuracy.

[RoxyQuarry]

The translators have done an excellent job and I appreciate that, but I am most disappointed to see a 1-2 minute job that could be done to ensure that the text and UI are in perfect touch. I am not blaming the translators but the ones that are in charge of the design of the UI. The translations are fine, my problem is the UI.

[plykkegaard]

The UI is static and cannot be changed, the dimensions and the font size or type cannot be changed
The text has to be shortened somehow

[RoxyQuarry]

The UI doesn't have to be static, it's could be changed and different versions could be made for different languages. So changing the language would change the UI as well. It wouldn't be hard because SCS could simply copy and paste the files and just make minor alterations to the files, like changing the size of text boxes. You get the point, right?

You need to calculate placement for all elements per pixel
A daunting task as you also must consider screen resolution an full screen versus windowed view

[Some newbie driver]

Game UI needs a rework to put the game into the modern times (regarding that subject) and due several reasons way more important than the one discussed here. When that happens, they will probably made a modern flexible UI to avoid that kind of problems. But in the meantime, they aren't going to do spaghetti code to patch just one text windows for some languages.

To have dynamic UI in game you need to create the UI as an floating overlay
Afaik the common method is to switch from game and configuration to solve this and create the UI as dynamic as possible
Some games has hud overlays which can be resized to compensate for high resolution screens
