  Actually the size/alignment problem seems to affect other translations, at 
least FR, IT and ES:

$ grep 2.10 mem/nls/mem.??.U*
mem/nls/mem.de.UTF-8:2.10:Größter freier UMB
mem/nls/mem.es.UTF-8:2.10:Bloque de memoria superior libre más grande
mem/nls/mem.fr.UTF-8:2.10:Le plus grand bloc de mémoire haute libre
mem/nls/mem.it.UTF-8:2.10:Dimensione massima di un blocco di memoria superiore 
(UMB)
mem/nls/mem.sv.UTF-8:2.10:Största fria övre minnesblock
mem/nls/mem.tr.UTF-8:2.10:En büyük boş üst bellek bloku

  To me it looks like the mem program itself will need changing to allow for 
the extra length strings.
