Description

In Italian and Swahili, on the Form Access page, the text for "App Users" is truncated among the rotated column headers:

We increased the size of the rotated column headers from 110px to 120px when we first added internationalization: b526f37ce2fb6d96feee730755046d9298703f88. Do we want to increase it again now? Italian seems to require 133px for the text to fit, while Swahili requires 135px.

I wonder though whether that would lead to too much white space between the table and the text above. Maybe another approach would be preferable, like decreasing the font size of that text (at least in Italian/Swahili)? Or, I know we may revisit this component before too long, so maybe we should just wait and see whether this remains an issue. (Maybe the text "App Users" will become "Users" or something else that will be shorter when translated?)
