Description

**Describe the bug**
The tip of the day in the main menu does not fit when translations are used. This happens with all resolutions.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Use any resolution
2. Use German
3. Open main menu

**Expected behavior**
Tip of the day fits into the screen.

**Suggestion**
Give a 2nd line for the tip of the day, *especially* when the terminal/window size permits it.
Maybe also sacrifice the line “Bugs? Suggestions? (…)” that is above the tip of the day.

**Version**

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by switching the game to German, opening the main menu, and checking the tip of the day at different resolutions. Trace the main-menu layout and translated tip rendering to identify where the available space is limited. Done means the translated tip fits, including at the reported resolutions, without obscuring other menu content.
