Display "..." when backBarButtonItem have long text

i'm a newbie with iOS programming. I work with app use Navigation Bar, and set text for Back button like this:

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"my text" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:nil action:nil];

it work fine. But, the problem occur when my text is long, backBarButtonItem display with default text is Back.

So, the question is : How can i display long text in backBarButtonItem, maybe display "..." instead of full text. Or Can i use custom view replace with default Navigation Bar?

P/s : i have refer "back" text displayed in iOS7 UINavigationBar when view title is long but it not helpful for me to solve this problem.
