Summary:
To better fit inside their controls, some strings in the German localization of iBooks for iPhone and iPod touch need to be shorter. One translation is missing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign in to the German iTunes Store
2. Launch iBooks
3. Tap on rightmost tab named *Gekaufte Artikel*
4. Tap on the left segment named *Nicht auf diesem iPhone*
5. Move the view up and tap on the last cell in the grouped table named *Alle gekauften anzeigen*

Expected Results:
At step 3, the title for the rightmost tab reads *Einkäufe* (english: Purchases). At step 4, the left segment of the Segmented Control contains the string *Nicht geladen* (english: Not downloaded). At step 5, the name of the last cell in the grouped table is *Alle Einkäufe anzeigen* (english: Show all purchases). The view visible after step 5 contains the following elements:
- Navigation Bar titled *Alle Einkäufe*
- Back button in Navigation Bar named *Einkäufe*
- Segemented Control with the segments named *Aktuell*, *Titel*, and *Autor*

Actual Results:
At step 3, the rightmost tab is named *Gekaufte Artikel* (english: Purchased items) which is too many characters and is too condensed. At step 4, the left segment of the Segmented Control contains the string *Nicht auf diesem iPhone* (english: Not on this iPhone) which is too wide and touches the edge of the control. At step 5, the last cell in the grouped table contains *Alle gekauften anzeigen* (english: Show purchased). The view visible after step 5 contains the following elements:
- Navigation Bar titled *All Purchased* which is not translated
- Back button in Navigation Bar named *Gekaufte Ar…* which is shortened
- Segmented Control with the segments named *Book Title* which is not translated, and *Name des Autors* which is too wide to fit the control.
