Short description of error
On the 3D Viewport, the main screen of 'Layout', you see the drop down list of 'Object Types Visibility' where English texts are all visible and well spaced.

When switched to the Vietnamese translation language, it looks like this:

Where 'heading' and item texts are BOTH obscured to the right, trailing with two dots ('..')

The code for this module is at:

and the piece of text translation is this:

Please take this 'blender.mo' file of Vietnamese I translated and compiled locally:

blender.mo

and drop in to the location:

2.80/datafiles/locale/vi/LC_MESSAGES

of your binary before switching to Vietnamese, select to turn on translation only for 'Interface' and 'Tooltips' while testing (because I only turning on these options on my pc).

Questions

Can 'Panel's be able to calculate their size and extendable at run time to cater for the size of the 'Longest' string of text (based on the dpi of font chosen and configuration scale) and aligning themself away from the edge of the parent windows (so do not overlapped the underneath) as in this situation:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Run Blender
Drop the translation 'blender.mo' file into the directory mentioned
Edit (Biên Soạn) ->Preferences (Cấu Hình) -> Interface (Giao Diện) and click on Translation (Phiên Dịch). In the language combo box, select 'Vietnamese' (Tiếng Việt). Then click to turn on 'Tooltips' (Chú Thích Công Cụ) and 'Interface' (Giao Diện).
Click on drop down panels as shown in the images and notice their contents and layout.

Popover size is hardcoded and limited by the bl_ui_units_x property which in this case is 6.
I'm not sure if a minimum size can be obtained automatically through the current code, this seems to be a limitation.

Once again, that is much more an UI issue than a translations one…
