Because some languages require more space than others, you might need to resize
dialog box controls (examples: buttons and text boxes) to accommodate text expansion.
To resize dialog box controls
1. From the Language menu, select a language.
To resize dialog box controls across all languages, select the Default language.
2. Select Setup Editor > Dialogs tab.
3. Click the dialog box to change.
4. Select a dialog box control and resize it.
See Types of Dialog Controls
Note
dialog box controls are shared across all languages, which means that a control you add
to one language is added to all other languages as well. Similarly, a control you delete in
one language is deleted in all other languages. However, you can add conditions to show
or hide certain controls in certain languages.
