That's only partly true, unfortunately.

You can tell a QLable (for example) to become as big as the text it holds, but 
in order to prevent it from growing too big (stealing the space from a more 
important widget or overflowing the screen's dimensions), you should also 
limit its size. This is a problem somewhere between translation and UI design, 
and cannot be solved completely, only made less severe by translators avoiding 
long translations (which is of course also not possible).

Verdict: file individual bugs where this happens, include a screenshot and the 
language used
