Не става въпрос за превода :)

It is not the translation itself I am refering to but the way than Blender  
handles
displayable strings. It first translates them (gettext) then tryes to fit  
them in
to the place for the button and if the string is too long it cuts some  
chars from the end
and then tryes again. but since this char are cut from the original  
untranslated string
the resulting string is not translated. Thus "Make" becomes "Mak" then  
"Ma" and so on.
How to translate "Manual" cut to "Man"?
The \... tags are first replaced with the actual values and then  
translated.
It is impossible to translate "Vertices:\s" fos s from 1 to 650000 :)
