I just saw that you already submitted a patch. Unfortunately after my
own was finished :-(. Nevertheless I post it, because I think it's
behaviour is a bit better regarding translated text messages but please
judge yourself.

As I tried your patch in firefox 1.0 the label for the ceckbox has
moved to the next line instead of being printed next to the checkbox.
IE 5.0 looked fine so far. Due to the xixed width most of the
translated text will be printed in two or more lines, but I think this
is the price to pay for table-less design ;-)

  Best regards
