In HTML, if you have an input with an onchange, it doesn’t register the change until you leave (or lose focus) that input. There’s an onKeyUp function as well which would have the function run as they type. In my case, this i…

Me and my friend are working on a Facebook bot. We have a question where we have opposite viewpoints, so we made the choice to ask this community.

To me, if you provide a Facebook-bot user experience your user expects to st…

We have a web client for our product with translations in 3 languages: English, French and German. This web client has a way to send emails to one of 3 different target groups: All connected users (currently logged in), all users, specific user group (all users in a freely selectable group). These are done through 3 radio buttons on the same line.

The problem is that our form looks nicely lined out when using English as the language, but when using French and to a lesser extent German, we run into problems with our radio button labels extending far beyond the right edge of our other controls, meaning a distorted form background. Apart from looking ugly, this also makes the UI look inconsistent when switching from one language to another. This is caused by the word for user being a lot longer in French (Utilisateur) and somewhat longer in German (Benützer).

All solutions I can think of either don’t fix distortion or impact usability:

• Editing the dimensions of the other fields to fit the French length just makes it so the other languages look weirder;
• Placing French and German on 2 lines is again not consistent, but for the line height;
• Placing all messages on 2 lines distorts the line height on the form. in addition, the horizontal width also remains inconsistent.
• Changing this to a dropdown would solve most dimension-related issues, but also leads to extra clicks to choose the right value.

What is the best way to handle this?
