Subject: long button texts

Hello again,

it turned out that long texts are generaly a problem. However,
I think the discussion to solve this could be cut short if the
translators would be aware of the problem and we could agree to
some standards.

Even if not all buttons are of the same size, a button with the
label "Karteneinsicht verbieten" will simply look ugly due to its
size. I do believe that in most cases this can be shortened or at
least split in two rows.

Solutions for this example:
"Karteneinsicht aus"
"Kartentausch aus"
"K.Tausch aus"
"Karte aus"

Ingo
