It's difficult to have it both ways. But you may set in the size 
constraints for those buttons a MinWidth value reasonably large, so that 
while the text fits in the minimum value, they're all the same, and when 
some text is longer they're not too much different.

I verified it with Italian
  http://www.bononiadocta.it/Lazarus/Pochecker-it.png
(please find here attached the latest version if Italian translation, 
which escaped the big update)

then I checked with Russian
  http://www.bononiadocta.it/Lazarus/Pochecker-ru.png
because 1) I know that it's rather longish, 2) I know that russian 
translations are always kept up to date by Maxim.
Also German is usually quite long, but in this case only "Select basic" 
doesn't fit in the button.

But in general it's very difficult to predict: Russian is normally quite 
long, English "Hi" or "Hello" translates to something like 
"????????????" but the word for /"/All/"/ is "???", which is as short as 
English. In a short caption you can have surprises.
Usually, from my experience, if Italian, German and Russian do fit, you 
shouldn't have too many surprises with other languages. But my 
experience comes only from what I've done in the past, so take it with 
caution.

Project planning question: when it's 90% done, are we halfway or not yet?
