Hi,
I am using ubuntu/unity8 on a phone, and I have some issue since strings
are more and more translated in my language (FR - french).
The bug appear on some apps when some string doesnt' size the place it
was for the original english string.
This is a problem when the translated string is longer than the
original.

TL;DR: Some area in the unity8 design are well designed for small word. Not for
long word. And after translation this become more visible.

Some example of related project:
-"unity8 dash" ( it is the display name that is shown when the dash reboot
itself after a crash, not sure about its codename):
* when you scroll down, you will see a software center orange icon with a
sentence at its top to explain you can get more app it is not possible to read
it all in english, it is cutted by the right edge.
- some bottom panel (swipe from bottom to upper) has often this issue
* Some third party app got translation (or even original string) into
the bottom panel too long. I don't know if this will keep into the next
version of the ubuntu SDK but I have a possible core app issue with the
current version
* Files manager : At this moment, the word "View" is traducted by "Vue"
in french, but it might be changed by its usual word (nautilus, nemo,
explorer.exe, firefox, most app...) have the word "Affichage". There are
plenty of language, Might be already like that with one of them.
-Selection/copy/paste (as seen on the messaging app with the keyboard):
* when you write a message (sms) to someone, if you make a long tap you have
a popup that come up (select all/paste, not the copy/cut/paste. In french, the
word "Select All" is traducted by "Tout sélectionner". As you can see, the
translated string is longer, and it goes upside the word close to it "Coller"
(Paste).
