Agreed. The right answer is probably to auto-adjust the width of the iconview to neatly fit the captions, or explicitly include linebreaks where necessary.

Better now but items are cut and if i add a line break in linguist there is no line break scribus then.

how to insert a linebreak there in linguist? (just Ctrl+Enter does not work)

I'm content with the current solution, with the tooltip showing the complete word. If we really want to display the whole text beneath the icon we could run into troubles with some german "Monsterwords" like "Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitänspatentschule".

I'm for a vertical splitter, as described in the bug 0002706. The user would decide, if he wants to resize the icon view or leave it as it is, then. BTW, that's the way it's solved in the Scribus help browser, so it would be consistent too.

It should either auto resize or have the splitter. If there are translators who decide to choose stupidly long words, then they need to choose different ones. A user should not be presented with text he cannot read, even with a tooltip.

I agree with Craig. And, Franz, there are no German "monster words" in this dialog, and if such a monster really would need to be implemented, translators still can choose to either use abbreviations or leave the English word in place. It would certainly cause no hardships for most German-speaking users.

fschmid: a splitter, autorezing, or a "won't fix"?

I don't think this has been fixed. On the contrary, the left pane in Doc Setup/Prefs is less readable than ever before. The icons are a lot smaller now, but since there is no way to adjust the relation between the left pane and the content on the right, it's impossible to read a single entry in its entirety, even when using an Englsh UI. See the attached screenshot.

Why don't we just get rid of the icons and use simple buttons (as on this website)? InDesign and XPress use them, and they are simple and elegant. VivaDesigner has a list view with text entries, which is equally simple and elegant.
