Indeed. We are mostly testing with english version. There captions fits fine into designed width.

And the same issue appears for Afrikaans language as well. I've said it before 
and I'll say it again. All modern GUI toolkits support layout managers. These 
layout managers query each component and asks for the preferred size and 
minimum size. Minimum size from all components will dictate the minimum size of 
the dialog or form, so no clipping ever occurs.

VCL is very outdated in this regard. LCL is slightly better with more advanced 
alignment and sizing options, but a full layout manager support is still 
missing.  Even with the English language I often see captions or groupboxes or 
labels being clipped, because those dialogs might have been designed under 
Windows, but because GTK2 components are normally larger, things don't fit.
