I heard/read the rumor that Microsoft tests all dialogs with the German 
translation because the German language seems to have the longest 
words/labels in average (of all languages Microsoft cares for because 
of a sufficiently large market). Of course, it always depends on the 
translation, i.e. maybe there is a shorter translation which would also 
work. One particularly ugly example is the "Sent-Mail folder:" label in 
KMail's composer which is translated with "Ordner für versandte 
Nachrichten:" which is twice as long as the English text.
