Localization, or in general, changing the length of labels, is much more manageable if you place the labels on top of the field and make the fields wide enough to accommodate the largest label.

A label in English might be 5 characters long. However in the next local it could be 10 characters long. (Spacing between fields likely needs to be managed manually at this point.) Likewise some labels might even be in different fonts(bold/normal/italics) between views and also effect how layout should be dealt with too. However, if BMC moves to a more advanced layout manager (like Java Swing uses) then I can see more of this becoming "automatically" possible. However, it would likely mean a steeper learning curve for ARS developers, and more headaches(and features) for some users too. Besides what is that old saying.... Pain is beauty. To keep your UI "looking good" it takes work.

Pick two. Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.
