The English looks nice enough.
They Malay, on the other hand, looks pretty
ugly.
The
large expansion factor produces unfortunate
stacking of the text on the left, and large
white spaces to the right.
Although the box expands vertically to hold
all the text, we are wasting a lot of space
and decreasing the amount of information
that will appear in the reader's initial
screen (you can imagine that this would be
compounded by other fixed with boxes on the
page).
With the German translation we
have a different problem.
The
long word Benutzeroberfläche doesn't wrap,
and so pushes the select boxes beyond the
width of the fixed box container.
This has the potential to badly affect the
layout of other parts of the screen.
