Re: [26842]
Well, it's interesting. I don't know much about Thai characters, but for whatever reason that seemingly short title ends up being represented by a very long string in software.

Unfortunately, the original code was written with some fixed-size buffers for the inputs and this exceeds the allowable size, so it is clipped to fit.

The fix would be relatively straightforward, but I would need to get set back up for building source code on the target. I will consider that.

As a note, your fix to move the English text up front didn't actually work. The Thai part is truncated. For now, we'll need to decide which is more important for the entry. Possibly use a romanized version of the Thai text.

I also did some searching check other Thai entries. Most use romanized titles. Those with Thai characters (with notes):

20584 Seems to be okay
21392 Thai title is in the body
24078 Thai title is in the body
25902 This is also truncated

Obviously 25902 needs to be fixed one way or the other.

I was aware that the Thai part had been truncated, but I decided to leave it with the English intact and searchable so that you could investigate.

For the time being, I moved the Thai title off of the title line and into the description box and it displays correctly there. I don't know how much work you want to do on what seems a minor problem. It might be easier to just document that foreign character sets may not display correctly, and to put them into the description.

I moved 25902 down into the description box and it seems to be ok.

I did a bit for searching by country code to see what
is going on for other languages. Obviously not all
have the tags yet, but pretty consistently the entries
have romanized and/or English titles and sometimes the
original characters in the body.

For safety and consistency, I think that's the best
approach for these couple of Thai entries.
