Dave, My experience is with Jaws. As best I can make out, it translates until either there is enough to fill the display or the end of the line is reached. The display never contains parts of two lines, though this may have been changed in the latest version. Translating the whole screen at once is not a good idea, because the screen may change while you are reading it. Extra blanks are usually omitted to get as much as possible on the display.
