They're cut at the end.
Should affect MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-wt/hu,
ediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-ve/hu, MediaWiki:Visualeditor-editingtabdialog-ok/hu (the third one in the pic is fine).

Yeah, this is a bit of a mess. @Tgr, could you re-consider the translations to be more compact? The purpose of these is to be short and very quickly understandable, not painstakingly correct. :-) As they are, as well as displaying wrongly they'll just be ignored by users.

For example, instead of … I'm guessing via Google Translate that it could say …

"Mindig a wikikód-szerkesztőfelület jelenjen meg""Add ide a wikikód szerkesztő"
"Mindig a vizuális szerkesztőfelület jelenjen meg, ha lehetséges""Add ide a vizuális szerkesztő"
"Mindkét szerkesztőre legyen link""Adj nekem két szerkesztő linkek"
"A legutóbb használt szerkesztőfelület használata""Add ide a legújabb szerkesztő"

What do you think? If necessary the text above the options could be expanded.

Thoughts?

These are pretty straightforward translations of the English text (apart from maybe "felület" ie. "interface" since editor in itself sounded strange) but let me try for something shorter:

  • visualeditor-editingtabdialog-body: A(z) {{SITENAME}} most már meg tudja jegyezni, melyik szerkesztési nézetet használod szívesebben. / SITENAME can now remember which editing view you prefer.
  • visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-wt: Mindig a wikikódot / Always the wikicode one
  • visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-ve: Mindig a vizuálisat / Always the visual one
  • visualeditor-preference-tabs-multi-tab: Mindkettőre legyen link / Link to both
  • visualeditor-editingtabdialog-ok: Amit legutóbb / Same as last time

Should I go with that?

That'd be great, yes. Thank you!

This made the prefs page a bit awkward as the options need to be in a different grammatical case there (which is not easily changed since the text preceding the dropdown needs to be very short).

Would it be problematic to split the prefs page options to separate keys?

I think they are already, or at least they used to be:
Sherry made this list for me:

Yeah, I am talking about the ones that are present in both places (also includes remember-last).

The same for the Finnish translations:

I can also simplify the translations, but couldn't it be better just to make the fix directly to css files?

T130021 is about the same issue. There's a CSS workaround there: T130021#2122875.
