I can do it for English too, as I mostly did for Spanish and
Portuguese because I'm now quite familiar with the strings used in
the game.
Nevertheless, there are some hopeless cases such as:
Free/hungry/starving/wounded (en)
Bien/hambriento/famélico/herido (es)
Bem/faminto/morrendo de fome/ferido (pt)
("Bien"/"Bem" meaning "Ok", as opposed to hungry/starving/wounded
which are cases of not being ok). This - I think- describes better
the state of the units, from the player point of view at least.
I put them like this:
Bien/hambr./famél./herido (es)
Bem/famint./morrendo/ferido (pt)
and still it doesn't fit completely, but at least the last word can be
partially seen.
Maybe a different layout could be used. Perhaps a two-column list of
colored square bullets would work?
[] Ok [] Wounded
[] Hungry [] Starving
(The graph here)
Just let me know if you would like me to try to improve the
readability of the English texts.
