And the same issue appears for Afrikaans language as well. I've said it before and I'll say it again. All modern GUI toolkits support layout managers. These layout managers query each component and asks for the preferred size and minimum size. Minimum size from all components will dictate the minimum size of the dialog or form, so no clipping ever occurs.

VCL is very outdated in this regard. LCL is slightly better with more advanced alignment and sizing options, but a full layout manager support is still missing.  Even with the English language I often see captions or groupboxes or labels being clipped, because those dialogs might have been designed under Windows, but because GTK2 components are normally larger, things don't fit.
