Yes, that make sense. Thanks, Shaun. I was envisaging having more  
space problems. :(

Since Vietnamese is composed of monosyllabic words, something that's  
four or five syllables in English (one or two words) is often four or  
five words in Vietnamese, and the spaces between bulk it out. For  
buttons and toolbars especially, this is a problem.
