English term or phrase: Character Limit
Hello,

We have received a job from our client and they require one particular sentence should be translated below 35 characters.

One of our Finnish Linguist told us that there is no possibility doing that within the requirement. I know she was correct as she said she doesn't want to give a sentence which is completely not readable.

Some one Help me on this please. Here is the Source and Finnish text. Is it recommended to shorten this or I need to explain our client

Source Text : Your Chances Of Pregnancy after 35.

Finnish Text : raskaaksi tulon mahdollisuuksiasi yli 35-vuotiaana


Thanks in advance!

Raskauden tod.näk. yli 35 v.


Explanation:
tod.näk. = todennäköisyys = propability is clearer in my opinion than shortening mahd. = mahdollisuus, as that word have many other meanings.
