What issue are you seeing?

In the German Codex Desktop UI, the Status dialog truncates the quota reset hint after the remaining percentage.

Observed text:

  • 57 % übrig (Wird zurücksetz...
  • 48 % übrig (Wird zurücksetz...

The actual reset timestamp is not visible, making the information unusable. This appears to be a German localization/layout issue: the English UI seems to use a short phrase like resets 13:28, while German likely expands this to something too long for the available space.

Expected behavior

The reset information should remain readable in German.

Possible shorter German strings:

  • Reset um [TIME] am [DATE]
  • Reset: [TIME] am [DATE]

For this narrow UI, Reset um [TIME] am [DATE] would be clear and compact.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set Codex app language/system language to German.
  2. Open the Codex Desktop app.
  3. Open the Status dialog showing context and quota limits.
  4. Look at the 5-hour and 7-day limit reset hints.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the German localization strings to use a shorter phrase, such as "Reset um [TIME] am [DATE]", to prevent truncation in the Status dialog.

Guidance

  • Review the current German localization files to identify the long phrase causing the truncation.
  • Test the proposed shorter phrases, such as "Reset um [TIME] am [DATE]" or "Reset: [TIME] am [DATE]", to ensure they fit within the available space.
  • Verify that the new phrases are grammatically correct and consistent with the existing UI.
  • Consider adding ellipsis or a tooltip to handle cases where the reset timestamp is still too long to display.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to localization strings, not code.

Notes

The solution assumes that the issue is solely due to the length of the German localization string and that shortening it will resolve the truncation problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: update the German localization strings to use a shorter phrase, as this is a more immediate solution than waiting for a potential fix in a future version.
