Yeah, that's why I am starting this translation process now, rather than waiting until the full text is in the template.pot. Please report these issues so I can fix them. Its not hard to make the panel adjust width, though oftentimes the panels end up getting quite wide in some languages.

I've tried to standardize the punctuation but haven't messed with the
language too much because its been around so long. I think you are talking about the iemguis (hslider, vslider, etc.) or do you also mean the gatoms
(number box , symbol box) and arrays.

Mainly talking about the iemguis, yes. I could imagine taking away the
"-----dimensions(pix)..." headings and having boxes instead.

Unfortuntely, that's on the C side. The iemguis are hard to modify, but its definitely possible. One thing that might be easy is to localize those strange iemgui headers.

When it comes to labels getting cropped, i've so far only seen it
happen to the "Messages" labels in the iemguis, and now I see it
happen to the english translation as well. Maybe it would be and idea
to lose the "symbol" part of eg "Send symbol" and have a heading like
"Message symbols", besides of course to make them take up the whole
width.

That's a good idea. The hard part is which language to use. How about this:

Bind symbols
        Send:
        Receive:

or maybe this:

Bind to symbols for
        Send:
        Receive:

And here I had a long rant about having checkboxes instead of buttons
for Init/no init until I viewed source and saw that it was already
planned...

Hmm, I wouldn't say planned as much as noted. That wouldn't be hard to fix, and it would be all Tcl. The more contributions there are, the better it gets. :)
