Are there shorter strings we can use there that communicate the same idea?

Hi Arun, Could you please help shorten the strings so it will fit? Thanks, Peiying

Arun - when translating "Lifestyle" and "Games" to Tamil, the results are too long for the space provided. We're looking for other options in Tamil that would communicate something similar to "games" and "lifestyle" but shorter. Ideas?
David, games - is a plural word in Tamil. So it has to be translated as "விளையாட்டுகள்" lifestyle - is singular word in Tamil. I had shorten the translation to "வாழ்முறை" It is difficult to shorten. I will investigate further with other Tamil Language experts. Let me know your thoughts if anything. Thanks Arun

Hey Arun, Thanks for your help with this. I know that changing "Games" To "Play" seems sensible but in Tamil, "play" literally translates to "Dance". Can you think of other words which we can do instead of "Games" which would still convey the meaning? Once again, thanks so much for your help!

So I did pull in my parents on this and they suggested the following : ஆட்டம் for Games seems like an acceptable solution in the context, considering we do need a shorter word. சீவமுறை for lifestyle is an alternative, but isn't very commonly used. Thoughts?
Peiying - can we get this today?
