Emanuele,

If you want apply ellipsis to the whole translated file, maybe you want to
check the script[1] I created for my GNOME translations; it applies the
GNOME typography (and then open Meld for file diffing and review of the
changes), but you could change it to apply only the desired ellipsis.
