Is there any good reason to optimize tooltip for length?

Anyway, I don't stick to the exact wording. The idea was to have a syntactical 
convention on how to phrase tooltips. That is in English Verb-Object ("Save 
file") which would be Object-Verb localized in German ("Datei speichern").

Hi Sophie,

Please do comment in the sheet, though i dont think Heiko's suggestion
for that button tooltip sounds right to me.

Jay

Hi all,

I would like to do some comments on this sheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YznFkDn91kMH6hoNsXkLzjRxzOJGdF1sqY

I found that some of the proposal are too long when translated and are
more extended tips, for example:
'Show toolbar with basic shapes'
gives in French
'Afficher la barre d'outils avec les forms de bases'

Would it help if I give some comments in the sheet, like
'Basic shapes toolbar' preferred for l10n? Or maybe it's not important
for tooltips?
Thanks in advance
Sophie
