Option labels on the mobile preferences page can be too long

Description

a screenshot with the problem

The option labels near the toggle buttons on the mobile preferences page can be too long in translations, and in English, too. When this happens their end is clipped behind the toggle button. (When I say "toggle button", I refer to <div class="mw-mf-checkbox-css3">.)

For example, this happens on my phone (Sony Xperia Neo) with the message mobile-frontend-expand-sections-status in Hebrew. The last option is clipped.

It should probably be wrapped.

My suggested fix would be to request shorter strings from translate wiki.

(In reply to Jared Zimmerman (WMF) from comment #2)

My suggested fix would be to request shorter strings from translate wiki.

This is something that we want to avoid at all costs. It's unfair, and it just doesn't work, because nobody can guarantee that the translator will notice the request.

Can't these labels be wrapped?

Adding Maryana, she should be able to reply.

Side note: It would be good to move this component into MediaWiki UI as part of this work.

Maryana is this something we can explore soon? Bug has been open for some time.

This doesn't appear to be a problem anymore now we use mw-ui-checkbox
