Created attachment 134218 [details] File dialog too big SUMMARY It's always a bit akward to open a new project in KDevelop because the file picker stretches almost over my entire screen. The phrase "Wählen Sie eine Einrichtungsdatei für ein Build-System, ein vorhandenes KDevelop-Projekt oder einen beliebigen Ordner, der als Projekt geöffnet wird." at the top is way too long in my opinion. This may only apply to the German translation. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set German language 2. Open new project 3. See that file picker is too big OBSERVED RESULT The phrase at the top is too long, therefore the dialog is too big. EXPECTED RESULT The phrase should be simplified to that the dialog is in a normal size SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201216 KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.9.14-1-default OS Type: 64-bit ADDITIONAL INFORMATION See screenshot
Thanks for the report. This is not a translation issue. This could be shortened to "do something" but then it would not be a translation of the original text anymore. The dialog layout should be fixed so that the length of the string does not "break" it this way. Maybe make it a multi-line text? Other languages might be even longer so making this an issue of one language does not fix anything.

I agree, this looks weird even in English.
