Space Constraints

A fixed amount of space is available for each translatable item. Because translated information requires varying lengths of text, you might have to abbreviate the translations. When you have exceeded the number of bytes allotted for an item, the system generates one of these warnings:

  • Abbreviate the translation.

  • Use another term.

  • Check the preview. (Many forms have maximum and minimum buttons that enable the user to control the length of the controls.)
