The ` FieldDropdown ` object is created with a list of menu options. Each option is made up of two strings. The first is the human-readable text to display. The second is a string constant which is used when saving the option to XML. This separation allows a dropdown menu's setting to be preserved between languages. For instance an English (` en/ `) version of a block may define ` [['left', 'LEFT'], ['right', 'RIGHT']] ` while a German (` de/ `) version of the same block would define ` [['links', 'LEFT'], ['rechts', 'RIGHT']] `.

However, sometimes the prefix/suffix matching fails. There are some cases where two words should always go together and the prefix should not be factored out. For example ` 'drive red car' ` and ` 'drive red truck' ` should arguably only have ` 'drive' ` factored out, not ` 'drive red' `. The Unicode non-breaking space ` '\u00A0' ` may be used in place of a regular space to suppress the prefix/suffix matcher. Thus the above example can be fixed with ` 'drive red\u00A0car' ` and ` 'drive red\u00A0truck' `.
Another place where prefix/suffix matching fails is in languages that do not separate individual words with spaces. Chinese is a good example. The string
