Asking an American for comment on English... about like asking an Australian
for comment on correct pronunciation ;-)  

However, in this case the "in order for" is probably not needed to avoid
ambiguity as the existing phrase is clear.

Though one could argue that alerts and warning labels should lead with the 
action to be performed, e.g. in the restart dialog use "%PRODUCTNAME must be
restarted for the updated language settings to take effect" or "%PRODUCTNAME
must be restarted for mail merge to work properly" as being more direct and
less of a burden for translation.

But leaving them unchanged (and as already translated) is probably the best
action.
