I just tried "Verbindung testen" but it introduces a line break so that
"V" in "Verbindung" overlaps the onion logo. (gets worse when the text
is even longer like "Tor-Verbindung testen")
So, should we just stay with "Tor check", or should we/someone fix the
CSS, or do we have a shorter translation?
