I'm discussing this with Sebastian and it looks like the problem is,
that we loose alignments here if we go for a combined string. But now
we are aware of the problem and we are trying to find a solution that
both handles the alignment and make the translation easier.

This is a limitation of the current icons. Once we have enough good
looking and easy to distinguish icons there will always be a icon that
displays the status and the alignmed is will be ok.
