Despite the long time the problem still seems the same old: when the person designed and built the screens - the menus, he did it based on the English words that are usually much shorter than several other languages. The guy creates an inflexible column called "Trailer", but in Brazilian Portuguese, for example, we write "Reboque", but from there the column title appears "Reboqu" in the first line and the "e" alone in the second line of the title, separating the syllables incorrectly. In Spanish it is "Remolques". In Dutch it is "aanhangwagen" and will not fit.

For English there is "Truck Dealer" but for us there is no translation "Lojas de Caminhões" that was the "gambiarra", "algo feito nas coxas" (a twig break) created to fit in space because of the way the main screens of the game were made. For us Truck Dealers is "Concessionárias", which makes the life of the interface designer more difficult

The translation of "truck dealer" string had to be changed into something little off, due to line braking not working so well in the UI and "Concessionária" ended cut in a strange way.

For "Reboque" I can't think of another word that would serve the purpose and still fit in the space in 1 line.

As you said, other languages with bigger than the English version of the words suffer from this setback.

so, is what would be the suggestion to solve this problem?

One option would be a already welcome redesign interface, the main screens of the game.

Another, which would also be an extension of the first, would be the creation of flexible columns just as they occur in the screens of computer systems, the columns adapt, grow according to title size

PS: also can be placed on the bottom...so let's get going
