some translations don't fit to the side bar, therefore a resizable side bar would be nice.

This is with Brazilian Portuguese, right? Can you attach a screenshot or two?

According to the Kirigami folks, the sidebar is supposed to always be wide enough to show the widest element. If it's not doing that, then there's either something wrong with that, or else maybe systemsettings is specifying a maximum width that's too narrow. Will investigate.

The situation is much better now, but it's still not wide enough for one label: https://i.imgur.com/VfOB0QZ.png

Strangely enough I now notice that when you take lato as your "general" font, the left pane of Systemsettings is a mess. But when I use carlito it is a totally different story - then suddenly I understand what the kirigami-folks mean! It looks perfect!
