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.
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).
NB: I saw some string that was already too large in english, but found very few.

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.
