Indeed. There may be a few random issues in places, and definitely some problems with the format strings. [I fixed some column width issues in many localizations today. A more translator-friendly system for setting the widths is also underway.] One column in particular – %u (Disk Usage Change) – is very long with default width 30, yet it doesn't need to be. Currently it displays text such as: Will use 100 MB of disk space. and appears in the default header line, tacking up much space. In many translations, the full text almost never fits. It would be preferable to change this to something shorter, like: Disk Usage: +100 MB which also makes it very similar to it's neighbours %B (Broken Count) and %o (Download Size): #Broken: 3 DL Size: 20 MB There should be enough time for translators to update this one string if asked nicely ;-) so unless there are any issues with the new string it will be changed soon.
