Is there a standard way to indicate in a qqq file that a particular
translation should try to be as few characters as possible?
Hoi, That does not work. Some languages will always be much larger and a "need" for brevity should not victimise legibility. Thanks, GerardM

No standard way that I was aware of. You can always use prose. :-)
It is pretty unusual to ask for brevity though, since that may not work across languages. Best give a reason, if you do.
