There is no way around this problem. Two words cannot be translated into a shoter terms.


I noticed that. Looks a bit ugly.
Could you perhaps use just "Kommandoer" instead? And on the button "Generelle Indstillinger" just write "Generellt" or something like that. My Danish is lousy so I can't really tell if this is possible. You have the same problem with "Privatlivs-beskyttelse" (which is almost as long as a normal Swedish word! :D What about "Privatliv" or "Privat"?

The stupid Swede :$
