Translators are free to change the layout of the help page as they
see fit.  Inserting a space before the text should create a larger gap:
eg. "Verde..." -> " Verde...".  If there is general agreement I could
just add nontranslatable spaces into the help.cfg file.

Agreed that the left menu is probably too narrow, even many of the English
subheadings are truncated.  Making it wider would make the right pane
narrower, though.  Lack of space is already causing undesirable wrapping,
for instance with unit descriptions in French.  Perhaps the help pane
needs to be larger on higher resolutions?  It pretty much fills the
screen on 800x600 but is relatively much smaller on high resolutions
such as 1344x840, so the extra resolution does not yield very much extra
horizontal space for help.

Indeed.  Perhaps a bug in help_text_area::add_text_item(), possibly
related to the link having colour markup?
