Bug Description

As the German Ubuntu translators team we haven't come up with a shorter translation for "Queue all" yet than "Alle zur Warteschlange hinzufügen". That text gets cut off at the beginning though, so it would be nice to make that button more flexible in regards to translations.

Niklas, thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu and the music app better. We'd need to get some design input on how we'd want to handle this. IMO, the most elegant way of doing so would be to detect the width of the text and expand the column of buttons uniformly to the right until either the string fits or the edge of the screen is reached (minus 2 GU) and elide the remaining text.

Slightly shorter suggestion for German:

"In Warteschlange einreihen"

@Niklas: Could we perhaps drop the waitsnake (Warteschlange) and just use "Alle einreihen" instead?

Michael, sorry for the late reply.
Renaming it to "Alle einreihen" might be possible but then we would have to alter all strings with "Warteschlange" and "hinzufügen" to use "einreihen" instead. Otherwise, we'd end up with inconsistencies.

To be honest, I would normally prefer "hinzufügen", but given that we only have a limited width we can use, I'd plead for going with "einreihen". If you agree, I'll correct the translations.

I would go with one word when possible. If you must use more words than fit in the current button, can we make the button size grow and the text go on two lines Victor?

There is currently a bug with resizing stroke buttons (the graphic gets stretched) but that should be fixed soon with a new shader drawing the button rather than a graphic.
