Description

### Describe the problem

I received a suggestion for a translation strings. I opened the string on the phone and found the following situation:

Image

The rejection buttons are cut off (and I didn't notice I can scroll horizontally). Because of this, I expected one of the green buttons to be the rejection button (no other buttons on screen). Then I really wondered which one it could be. I tried long-pressing the buttons, but there was no popup or similar that would explain what the buttons do.

I know that I can hover the buttons when I'm on the desktop to figure out what they do. I think it would be good to find some way to show those explanations while on the phone.

### Solution brainstorm

Possibly using long-press as well? At least on Android, you can long-press most icons to get a popup with their description. Not sure how easy this is to add to a website.

### Describe alternatives you have considered

Showing the buttons with icon+text? That might get crowded, though.
