Play in music app button is too small for spanish translation

[Leo Arias]

See the attached image.

It shows the spanish translation of the "Play in music app" button. It doesn't fit so it shows "Play in ap...".

Same problem in French.

For what it's worth the German localization works around this by effectively using the wording "To Music app" ("Zur Musik-App") instead.

How best to fix this? Is there some way to have self-sizing buttons (within limits)?

I'm not sure the scope even has any control over the size of the button?

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

The scope has no control over the size of the button as of today.

We could try to introduce self-sizing buttons (e.g. in the case of just one button as part of the "actions" preview widget) if Design agrees with it, but i am not sure it would even help in this case "Reproducir en aplicación de música" is just too long.

Thanks. I've added Ubuntu Translations because this seems to be primarily a problem caused by the translation being inappropriate for the context.

[Leo Arias (elopio)]

I kind of disagree. I would blame the UI for assuming that the message it wants to tell to the user fits in that small space. From the translator's point of view, it's wrong to lose part of the message.
I would say that the right widget for this is not a button.

For now, I've updated the translation. Now it only says: Reproducir ( "play" )
