    Regarding Text Length:
    A very important rule is to try and make the length of the translated text as close as possible to its English original. If this is not done, texts may in some cases overflow their assigned space. This is a responsibility of the localizers! People should prefer translation that is "close-enough" in meaning but fits in text length space, rather than translation that matches perfect in meaning, but is too long and overflows.
    Some languages in general have average length of words and sentences longer than English. In that case, people can request to use a smaller font for their language. Requests should be posted on forums at https://forums.keenswh.com/post/font-size-and-length-of-texts-6597345. Note that font size can be changed only down to 80% of its original, as anything smaller could result in illegible texts on smaller resolutions.
