Fixed Width Constraints May Caus

Answer 1

You can try Disabling "Respect Language Direction" on per Constraint basis to silence the warning and see if it helps. Select your constraint and open Attributes/Size Inspector. Please see image attached.

If you are not planning on localizing your app to other languages, then this solution should not have any fallbacks. For localized apps you have to be more conscious of your label and font sizes.

p.s. This solution works for iOS. For macOS try >= or <= to silence the warning.

p.p.s. Labels in the picture below are much easier to create using AutoLayout and attributedString property on a single UILabel or UITextView using NSMutableAttributedString. The image is for demonstration purposes only.
