The example you have given is certainly complicated. I haven't come up with anything very satisfactory (lack of imagination on my part); but for what its worth, how about:

"switches formatting: text ↔ bulleted list, numbered list ↔ bulleted list"

Or is that oversimplifying?

Is it possible to use icons instead of words in tooltips? If so, you could use pictures in the tooltip, with ______ to mean "text" and just avoid using words altogether. That would work for both LTR and RTL languages, although maybe not for vertical languages.

Or is it possible to put a link to a formatting help page inside a tooltip? If so, it wouldn't matter if the tooltip was short; say "switches formatting between bulleted list and normal text or numbered list - [help Link to help page]"
