Actually, if it's a concern about bandwidth, it's even more of a moot point than Stefan indicated, since (1) you were going to be putting those labels in regardless of internationalization, and (2) GWT already extracts String constants into a tightly packed bunch of global variables with minified names.
Theoretically, the size of your application should not be affected by internationalization.
