Change 200316 had a related patch set uploaded (by Ricordisamoa):
Wrap descriptions in entitytermsforlanguageview instead of using ellipsis

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/200316

With the patch, the "other languages" box, with very long descriptions and aliases, looks like this:

On master, it is like:

my test item is probably pretty extreme case of long aliases (although it comes from the item for Bangkok) and number of aliases. I personally like having the text wrapped, as the patch does, even if there are a lot of aliases, but do others have opinion?

Let's do it and reevaluate later based on what @Snaterlicious comes up with for items with many aliases.

Do we have a ticket for this already?
