Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When changing language to German on initial boot menu of the LiveCD, the text at the bottom (F1.. F2... etc.) does not fit fully on my screen. Description of F6 gets cut off at the right edge.

Using Dell Latitude D630 w/ native resolution 1440x900, but not sure what resolution the boot menu is.

We could change the translation but that'd mean a loss of intelligibility, so I don't think this is a translation issue.

Perhaps it could be changed by Translation.
Some possibilities:

F3 Keymap is called Tastaturbelegung -> Tastenbelegung

If this is not enough, then
F5 Accessibility is called Barrierefreiheit -> Barrierefrei
