Some small adjustments have been made to the layout of the dialog templates to accommodate places where the translation is longer. Please report it if there are any spots I've missed where the text overflows the space available.


The IDC_CHOOSE_SYNC button with German text "Synchronisieren" overlaps with "Test" checkbox:
"(.) Synchronisier[.] Test"

Could be fixed by increasing res.rc:SETUP_KPCE_W from 52 to 60 (the three radio buttons IMO do not look "nice" then),

Thanks for pointing this out.

Yeah, I agree it's not very pleasing, evenly spreading the radio buttons out horizontally like that.

I think maybe this dialog could use a little reworking, as I suspect the original layout was made with the assumption it needs to fit in on a 640x480 VGA display, which is probably no longer valid. :)

or by an individual adjustment like:
- CONTROL "&Beste",IDC_CHOOSE_BEST,...,SETUP_BEST_X,30,SETUP_KPCE_W,14
- CONTROL "&Synchronisieren",IDC_CHOOSE_SYNC,...,SETUP_SYNC_X,30,SETUP_KPCE_W,14 + CONTROL "&Beste",IDC_CHOOSE_BEST,"Button",...,SETUP_BEST_X,30,SETUP_KPCE_W-10,14 + CONTROL "&Synchronisieren",IDC_CHOOSE_SYNC,...,SETUP_SYNC_X-12,30,SETUP_KPCE_W+12,14

or by simply using an abbreviation like "Synchr.".

Unfortunately, the tool used to merge in updated translations uses the English dialog layouts as a template, so per-language customizations like this will be hard to maintain.
