Comment:

 `wporg-plugins` theme is supposed to limit the excerpt length to 15 words,
 see the [source:sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-
 content/themes/pub/wporg-plugins/functions.php#L149 excerpt_length()]
 function.

 In Japanese and Chinese (and perhaps other East Asian locales),
 `wp_trim_words()`
 [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/ja/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=533157&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=21527772
 counts characters] instead of words.

 Seems like the limit should be increased for those locales. If the current
 UI can account for three lines, there's no need to overzealously limit the
 excerpt to just 15 characters.
