Translations require resizing of boxes and buttons

We are currently running a massive scaling initiative globally for one of our Tulip apps, this comes with a need of translation for a lot of our sites which has raised the following issue:

  • Translations of an application can result in the translated text spilling over the dimensions of existing buttons/ text boxes/ table column headers in the app UI
  • Adjustments made to the dimensions of UI elements to accommodate this are not translation-specific – any corrections made will be applied universally.

And this follow up question:

  • Can Tulip support translation-specific UI adjustments, that are made and retained within one translation only?​ E.g. Dynamic Text or Button Sizing?

Hi @StefanKnutsson - Welcome to Tulip Community and thank you for your suggestion here!

The Team has logged this request and we encourage you / anyone else on the community who is interested in this feature to vote and comment on this thread as well.

@shep mentioned a potential solution here is responsive UI (dynamic sizing of UI elements). However, we would need to be careful when designing this feature, as the whole App UI would need to be responsive and not just Button widgets in isolation. If we just made buttons responsive, then there is potential for buttons covering other UI elements.
