The buttons in the lower right of the plugin manager are too small for translations by default.
Screenshot for German, similar for French. Haven't tested more.

Severity ⇒
Reported version 2.2 ⇒ 2.1

2.1 had that problem too, just one button less (the "Reload plugins" one)
And master still have it too.
And it is (potentially) an issue for every language.

I would be willing to say it is a problem for most if not all languages, since the translations tend to be more wordy. I checked Afrikaans, Dutch and German, all have this issue.

I have two ideas for suggested fixes
(a) The left-hand pane listing plugin names is less than half used. If you reduce it by 50%, it should have room to spare on the left-hand and allow for buttons large enough to fit many more translation (I can’t say “all translations” since my sample is relatively low)
(b) increase the default / initial dimension of the dialog box to allow enough space (difficult to gauge, I would guess 20%)

Severity S1 - Blocker ⇒ S3 - Major

Apologies, did not mean to change this to S1 - Blocker. Not sure what happend (my guess: a mouse scroll with focus in the wrong place changed this to a S1 - Blocker). It was on Severity 3. The closest I could find was S3 - Major
