Bug Description

Collapsed/Expandable scopes show a label "See more" and expanded scopes accordingly "See less". This sounds weird and should rather be "Show more" and "Show less". The user is instructing the phone to show more entries, it's not that the phone sees them.

I only really noticed with the german translation "Mehr sehen" which seems really uncommon in user interfaces, but after consulting with a native english speaker we seem to agree that the issue is the actual string, not the translation.

------ UX Comment -------

Desired solution: please change the current label from 'See all/See less' to 'Show all/Show less'.

Actually it's not "See more"/"See less" anymore but "See all"/"See less".

Should we change it to "All"/"Less" ?

After talking with Patricia and Steph we've decided to go with "Show all"/"Show less"
