Updater - too long text strings make available updates unreadable

  • /e/ version: v1.13-S-stable
  • Device model(s): FP3
  • Developer mode enabled: no
  • Device rooted: no
  • Trackers blocker enabled: yes (not relevant)

Summary

The updater displays one or several updates available to the current system. In some languages the string "update system" takes so much space that the version number and other relevant information become unreadable. I.e. in German the string is "Aktualisierung installieren"

Below pls compare the screenshot for an English language screen with one in German language.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

  • Install an older version of eOS (1.13 or below)
  • Change system language to German
  • got to Settings > Updater
  • search for updates

What is the current behavior?

Date and version of the available update become unreadable

What is the expected correct behavior?

When a text string in the updater becomes too long (i.e. more than 50% of the screen width), make sure that the string can line break in order keep information visible to the user. In this case as it's a button here are the mock-ups:
