That's probably because GTK1 looks only at the number of bytes in any string,
not the number of actual characters to align/justify text. Just a guess,
though.

I'd think it's a bug that the comments in the config files are translated
at all. Well, as long as they're UTF-8 encoded it's hopefully not a problem.
There's some confusion about the descriptive text for properties (at least
on my side). At first, that was only meant as a documentation for the
property. Later, this text was also used for the tooltips when associated
with a widget. That's why some "tooltips" don't make any sense to users.
Manually fiddling with the config files is certainly not a feature and
only useful for workarounds - if at all.

Sounds OK to me; lines shouldn't be longer than about 60-70 characters.
However, it might be better to add line breaks automagically when assigning
the tooltips.
