If they are win32 dialogs, then each locale gets it's own dialog 
resource - with appropriate size and dimensions.

If you are using a string bundle resource approach, just make sure the 
windows and child controls are resizable - the user can stretch/shrink 
the window to the desired size so that the text is visible.

I've seen programs that used external text files - users were able to 
translate or edit them to create new locales.
